Answer:

n=0

Explanation:

3(-4+4)+5n=2n

first distribute

-12+12+5n=2n

combine like terms

5n=2n

subtract 2n on both sides

3n=0

divide by 3 on both sides

n=0/3

which is also equal to

n=0

Answer:

1. Move the variables to one side: 3(-4+4) = -3n

2. Distribute. You will end up with 0 = -3n

3. Divide both sides by -3. n = 0
