Question

-2(4n-6)=22 what is n?

Answer 1

-5 / 4

Explanation:

~ Using distributive property distribute:

-8n + 12 = 22

~ Use transposition method:

-8n = 22 - 12 [ 12 comes to the other side. As it was (+) on the LHS when

it comes to the RHS it becomes (-) ]

= 10

n = 10 / -8

= -5 / 4

Answer 2

Answer: n = 5/4

Explanation:

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

−2(4n−6)=22

(−2)(4n)+(−2)(−6)=22(Distribute)

−8n+12=22

Step 2: Subtract 12 from both sides.

−8n+12−12=22−12

−8n=10

Step 3: Divide both sides by -8.

-8n/-8 = 10/-8

n = 5/4
