Answer 1

answer: D. 16
if u substitute all the numbers the only one that would be 8=8 would be 16

Answer 2

16

Explanation:

Lets do a Step-by-step:

You must Solve for n:

-n/2 = -8

Multiply both sides of -n/2 = -8 by -2:

(-2 (-n))/2 = -2 (-8)

-2×(-1)/2 = (-2 (-1))/2:

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

(-2)/2 = (2 (-1))/2 = -1:

--1 n = -2 (-8)

(-1)^2 = 1:

n = -2 (-8)

-2 (-8) = 16:

Answer: n = 16
