Answer 1

3

Explanation:

-2(n+3) = -12

-2n -6= -12

-2n = -12 +6

-2n = -6

2n =6

n =6/2

n is 3

Answer 2

n = 3

Explanation:

- Expand the numbers in the brackets

-2(n+3) = -12

-2n - 6 = -12

- Add 6 to both sides of the equation.

-2n = -6

- Divide both sides by -2 to isolate the n variable.

n = 3
