The answer is: [D]: " n = 16 " .______________________________________________
Step-by-step explanation:
______________________________________________
(1/2) n = 8 ;

Multiply EACH side of the equation by "2" ; to "cancel out" the "(1/2)" on the left-hand-side of the equation; and to isolate "n" on one side of the equation; and to solve for "n" ;
______________________________________________
2* (1/2) n = 2 * 8 ;
______________________________________________
to get:
______________________________________________
n = 16 ; which is: Answer choice: [D] .
