Answer: n = 16

Solve for n by simplifying both sides of the equation, then isolating the variable.

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplify - 2.
( -(1)/(2) ) . n = -2 . -8

Cancel the common factor of 2.

- 1 . - 1 . n = 2 . - 8

Multiply - 1 by - 1.

1 . n = -2 . -8

Multiply n by - 1.

n = - 2 . -8

Multiply - 2 by -8.

n = -2 . -8

Multiply -2 by -8.

n = 16

Hope this helped you!!
