Question

-4(9n + 9) = -12(4n - 6).

Answer 1

n = 9

Explanation:

Step 1: Write equation

-4(9n + 9) = -12(4n - 6)

Step 2: Solve for n

Distribute: -36n - 36 = -48n + 72

Add 48n to both sides: 12n - 36 = 72

Add 36 to both sides: 12n = 108

Divide both sides by 12: n = 9

Step 3: Check

Plug in n to verify if it's a solution.

-4(9(9) + 9) = -12(4(9) - 6)

-4(81 + 9) = -12(36 - 6)

-4(90) = -12(30)

-360 = -360
