Answer:Yes

Explanation:

The value of n which makes the expression true is - 9

Given the expression : 4(0.5n-3)=n-0.25(12-8n)

The value of n which makes the expression true can be obtained by solving for n ;

4(0.5n-3)=n-0.25(12-8n)

Open the bracket :

2n - 12 = n - 3 + 2n

Collect like terms :

2n - 2n - n = - 3 + 12

-n = 9

Divide both sides by - 1 to isolate n

Hence ;

n = - 9

The value of n which makes the expression true is - 9
