Question

Solve the equation.
-3(3n + 4) = 6

Answer 1

n = -2

Explanation:

-3(3n + 4) = 6; multiply -3 to both 3n and 4.

-9n - 12 = 6; add 12 on both sides.

-9n = 18; divide -9 on both sides to isolate the variable n.

n = -2

Answer 2

n=-2

Explanation:

Let's solve your equation step-by-step.

−3(3n+4)=6

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

−3(3n+4)=6

(−3)(3n)+(−3)(4)=6(Distribute)

−9n+−12=6

−9n−12=6

Step 2: Add 12 to both sides.

−9n−12+12=6+12

−9n=18

Step 3: Divide both sides by -9.

−9n

−9

=

18

−9

n=−2
