Question

2 − 10n = 2 + 4n
What does n equal?

Answer 1

n= 0

Explanation:

Step 1- Add 10n to both sides.

2-10n= 2+4n

+10n +10n

2= 2+14n

Step 2- Subtract 2 to both sides.

2= 2+14n

-2 -2

0= 14n

Step 3- Divide both sides by 14.

0/14= 14n/14

n= 0

Answer 2

0 =n

Explanation:

2 − 10n = 2 + 4n

Add 10n to each side

2 − 10n+10n = 2 + 4n+ 10n

2 = 2 + 16n

Subtract 2 from each side

2-2 = 2+16n-2

0 = 16n

Divide each side by 16

0/16 = 16n/16

0 =n
