Answer:

n = 11

Explanation:


n+1=4(n-8)\qquad\text{use the distributive property}\ a(b+c)=ab+ac\\\\n+1=(4)(n)+(4)(-8)\\\\n+1=4n-32\qquad\text{subtract 1 from both sides}\\\\n+1-1=4n-32-1\\\\n=4n-33\qquad\text{subtract}\ 4n\ \text{From both sides}\\\\n-4n=4n-4n-33\\\\-3n=-33\qquad\text{divide both sides by (-3)}\\\\(-3n)/(-3)=(-33)/(-3)\\\\n=11
