Question

296 = -8(6n - 1)
Please explain how you get the answer I’m actually trying to learn here

Answer 1

here’s what your work should look like:
296= -8(6n-1)
296= -48n+8
-8 -8
288= -48n
(divide by -48)
n= -6

Answer 2

The answer is n=-6.

Explanation:

Rewrite the equation as:

-8 (6n-1) = 296

Divide each term in:

-8 (6n-1) = 296 by -8 and simplify.

Move all terms not containing n to the right side of the equation:

6n-1 = 37

Divide each term in 6n = -36 by 6 and simplify

In conclusion, n = -6.
