Question

Solve for n.
n+ 1 = 4(n-8)
0 n = 1
O n = 8
0 n = 11
n = 16
?

Answer 1

0 n=11

Explanation:

1. Distribute

+1=4(−8)

2. Subtract 1 from both sides of the equation

+1=4−32

+1−1=4−32−1

3. Simplify

=4n−33

4. Subtract 4 from both sides of the equation

=4−33

−4=4−33−4

5. Simplify

−3=−33

6. Divide both sides of the equation by the same term

−3=−33

-3n/-3=-33/-3

7. Simplify

=11
