Answer:

n = 20

Explanation:


4n+14-5n=-6

So we have to simplify the equation.

4n + -5n = -n

So our equation looks like this now ->
-n+14=-6.

So now to get -n by itself we get 14 and -6 by itself.

So we do -6 - 14 and we get -20.

So our equation looks like
-n=-20.

So now we have to make n positive we do -n ÷ -1 which is n.

And since we divided -n by -1 we have to divide -20 by -1 which is 20.

So n is 20.

Answer:

n = 20

Explanation:

4n + 14 - 5n = -6

(4n - 5n) + 14 = -6 Combine like terms

-n + 14 = -6

-14 -14 Subtract 14 from both sides

-n = -20

/-1 /-1 Divide by -1

n = 20
