Answer:

n = 18

Explanation:

In algebra, there is always an orderly progression of steps. Once we get an answer for the value of x, we must test it in the original question to make sure it is correct.

___________________________________________________

Step 1: Add 2


(n)/(3) - 2 + 2= 4 + 2 \\\\ (n)/(3) = 6___________________________________________________

Step 2: Multiply by 3

n/3 × 3 = 6 × 3

n = 18

___________________________________________________

Step 3: Check

18/3 - 2 = 4

6 - 2 = 4

4 = 4 ✓
