-8(x-4)=n-40


Use \: the \: distributive \: property \: to \: \\ multiply \: -8 \: by \: x-4.


-8x+32=n-40


Swap \: sides \: so \: that \: all \\ variable \: terms \: are \: on \: the \: left \\ hand \: side.


n-40=-8x+32


Add \: 40 \: to \: both \: sides.


n=-8x+32+40


Add \: 32 \: and \: 40 \: to \: get \: 72.
