Question

ERROR ANALYSIS Describe and correct the error in solving the equation.

−4(2n− 3) = 12 − 8n
−8n+ 12 = 12 − 8n
−8n=−8n
0 = 0
The solution is n= 0.

Answer 1

It’s actually n=1 because (-8) needs to be divided on both sides hope this helps:))

Answer 2

-4(2n-3)=12-8n
-8n+12=12-8n
-8n=-8n
n=1
-8n needs to be divided by -8 on both sides instead of being added to both sides.
