Answer:
n=-22
Explanation:
rewrite the equation as 5(n+4) = n-8
3
now distribute the 5 through the parentheses 5n+20 = n-8
3
multiply each side by 3 5n+20=3n - 24
subrtact 3n from both sides 5n+20=3n - 24
-3n -3n
2n+20=-24
then subtract 20 from each side 2n +20=-24
-20 -20
Giving you 2n=-44 then divide both sides by 2
2n=-44 Giving you n=-22
