Question

N - 4 = 3n + 6
what number does n represent?

Answer 1

-5

Explanation:

Lets start by combining some common terms. -4 can be brought over to the right as +4 and 3n can be brought to the left as -3n to make the statement -3n +n = 6+4

Simplifying that, we get -2n = 10

Dividing 10 by -2, we get n = -5

Answer 2

n = -5

Explanation:

n - 4 = 3n + 6

n = 3n + 10

-2n = 10

n = -5
