Question

Solve the equation
(If possible please show work)

Answer 1

⇒2 + 4(2 - 3n) = 58

⇒4(2 - 3n) = 58 - 2

⇒2*4 - 3n*4 = 56

⇒8 - 12n = 56

⇒-12n = 56 - 8

⇒-12n = 48

⇒-n = 48/12

⇒-n = 4

⇒n = - 4

Hence, value of n is - 4

Answer 2

`n=-4`

Explanation:

So we have the equation:

`2+4(2-3n)=58`

First, distribute the second term:

`2+4(2)-4(3n)=58\\2+8-12n=58`

Add the left side:

`10-12n=58`

Subtract both sides by 10. The left side cancels:

`(10-12n)-10=(58)-10\\-12n=48`

Divide both sides by -12. The left side cancels:

`(-12n)/-12=(48)/-12\\n=-4`

Therefore, the value of n is -4.
