Expand to get 6=8n-12. Add 12 to both sides to find that 8n=18. Divide by 8, receiving
n= (9)/(4), which is the answer.

solve your equation step-by-step.

Simplify both sides of the equation.

6=4(2n−3)

6=(4)(2n)+(4)(−3)(Distribute)

6=8n+−12

6=8n−12

Flip the equation.

8n−12=6

Add 12 to both sides.

8n−12+12=6+12


8n=18

Divide both sides by 8.

8n/8=18/8

n=9/4
