Answer:


The~answer~you~should~be~getting~is


n=-4

Step 1: First, Simplify both sides of the equation:


6n+(-2)(4n)+(-2)(7)+4=-2
(Distribute)


6n+-8n+-14+4+-2


(6n+-8)+(-14+4)=-2


-2n+-10=-2


-2n-10=-2

Step 2: Add 10 to both sides;


-2n-10+10=-2+10


-2n=8

Step 3: Divide both the sides by -2:


(-2n)/(-2) =(8)/(-2)


n=-4
