Answer 1

n=7

Explanation:

Step 1: Write out equation

Step 2: Subtract both sides by 8

Step 3: Divide by 2 for both sides and you get your answer!

EX: 2n+8=22

-8 -8

------------------------------

2n=14

----- ----

2 2 n=7

Answer 2

We can move the values of "n" and the numbers to their own sides:

22 = 8 + 2n

-2n = 8 - 22

-2n = -14

2n = 14

n = 7
