Question

Solve the equation
-2(n + 1) = 6
(PLEASE HELP)

Answer 1

n=-4

Explanation:

1. Write the equation.

-2(n+1)=6

Simplify.

= -2n-2=6

2. Add 2 to both of the sides to make it equal.

= -2n-2=6

+2 +2

= -2n=8

3. Divide by -2 on both sides.

= -2n/-2=8/-2

= n=-4

Answer 2

n= -4

Explanation:

Distribute the -2 on the left sides

-2(n+1)=6

-2*n + -2*1=6

-2n-2=6

Add 2 on both sides

-2n=8

Divide by -2 on both sides

n= -4

Hope this helps! :)
