Answer:

n= 0.125 or 1/8

Explanation:

Distrubute 6 into (5+4n). It should give you 30+24n.

The equation should now look like this: -8n+34=30+24n.

Swap -8n with 30, giving -30+34=8n+24n. Add the numbers and the pronumerals together.

Now it will look like 4=32n. Divide the numbers, but unfortunately the number is small so the answer will have to be a decimal or a fraction. So it's 0.125 or 1/8.

If I didn't explain everything or something is wrong, please comment. I just signed up, so it's my first time using this.

Answer:

n=1/8

Explanation:

-8n+34=6(5+4n)

We move all terms to the left:

-8n+34-(6(5+4n))=0

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

-8n-(6(4n+5))+34=0

We calculate terms in parentheses: -(6(4n+5)), so:

6(4n+5)

We multiply parentheses

24n+30

Back to the equation:

-(24n+30)

We get rid of parentheses

-8n-24n-30+34=0

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

-32n+4=0

We move all terms containing n to the left, all other terms to the right

-32n=-4

n=-4/-32

n=1/8
