Answer:

n = -5

Step-by-step explanation:

6n + 12 − 8n = 22

[ Simplify both sides of the equation ]

6n + 12 − 8n =22

6n + 12 + −8n = 22

(6n + −8n) + (12) = 22 [Combine Like Terms]

−2n + 12 = 22

−2n + 12 =22

[ Subtract 12 from both sides ]

−2n + 12 − 12 = 22 − 12

−2n = 10

[ Divide both sides by -2 ]

-2n / -2 = 10 / -2

n = -5

Answer:

n = -5

Step-by-step explanation:

6n + 12 - 8n = 22

Combine like terms

-2n +12 = 22

Subtract 12 from each side

-2n +12-12 = 22-12

-2n =10

Divide each side by -2

-2n/-2 = 10/-2

n = -5
