Question

-8n + 4(1 + 5n) + 6 = -14
Pls help

Answer 1

n = -2

Explanation:

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

−8n+4(1+5n)+6=−14

−8n+(4)(1)+(4)(5n)+6=−14(Distribute)

−8n+4+20n+6=−14

(−8n+20n)+(4+6)=−14(Combine Like Terms)

12n+10=−14

12n+10=−14

Step 2: Subtract 10 from both sides.

12n+10−10=−14−10

12n=−24

Step 3: Divide both sides by 12.

n=−2
