Question

5(n+4)/3=n-8
A.-24
B.24
C.22
D.-22
PLEASE HELP

Answer 1

Start with

`(5(n+4))/(3) = n-8`

Multiply both sides by 3:

`5(n+4) = 3(n-8)`

Expand both sides:

`5n+20 = 3n-24`

Subtract
`3n` from both sides:

`2n+20 = -24`

Subtract 20 from both sides:

`2n = -44`

Divide both sides by 2:

`n = -22`
