Answer:

n = -0.5

Explanation:

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

First you multiply 2 and 2n by 5

4n + 3 = 10 - 10n

subtract 4n on both sides (meaning subtract 4n by itself on the left side of the equal sign and subtract 10n and 4n)

3 = 10 + 14n

Subtract 10 on both sides

-7 = 14n

Divide on both sides

Your answer should be n = -0.5 (or -0.5 = n)

Hope this helps!
