Question

Solve the equations
​

Answer 1

n = 8

Explanation:

to solve this equation you must first isolate the variable

that is n

so first

add 2n to both sides to get rid of n on one of the sides

-4n + 2n + 14 = -2 - 2n + 2n

-2n + 14 = -2

now subtract 14 to both sides to isolate n

-2n + 14 - 14 = -2 - 14

-2n = -16

now divide everything by -2 to isolate n completely

(-2n)/(-2) = (-16)/(-2)

n = 8

that is your answer

Answer 2

`\boxed{\sf n=8}`

Explanation:

`\sf -4n+14=-2-2n`

Subtract 14 from both sides:-

`\sf -4n+14-14=-2-2n-14`

Simplify:-

`\sf -4n=-2n-16`

Add 2n to both sides:-

`\sf -4n+2n=-2n-16+2n`

Simplify:-

`\sf -2n=-16`

Divide both sides by -2:-

`\sf \cfrac{-2n}{-2}=\cfrac{-16}{-2}`

Simplify:-

`\sf n=8`
