Divide by -12.4

Multiply by 4

Divide by 4

Answer 1

multiply by 4

Explanation:

Answer 2

You multiply both sides by 4

Explanation:

1. You have the equation
   `(n)/(4)=-12.4` ? I assume, remember to use the ' / ' (forward slash) to indicate division.
2. Next we multiply 4 on both sides
   `4*(n)/(4)=4*-12.4`
3. Which gives us
   `(4n)/(4) = - 49.6`
4. Rewrite the left side as
   `(4)/(4)*n=-49.6`
5. Now 4 divided by 4 is 1, and 1 times n is n, so
   `n=-49.6`

That's why we multiply by 4. Hope this helps
