Question

What is the answer to this problem -8(8+n)-6(7n-3)=54

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is n=-2

Answer 2

Answer:

n = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

Step  1  :

Equation at the end of step  1  :

 ((0-(8•(n+8)))-6•(7n-3))-54  = 0

Step  2  :

Equation at the end of step  2  :

 ((0-8•(n+8))-6•(7n-3))-54  = 0

Step  3  :

Step  4  :

Pulling out like terms :

4.1     Pull out like factors :

  -50n - 100  =   -50 • (n + 2)

Equation at the end of step  4  :

 -50 • (n + 2)  = 0

Step  5  :

Equations which are never true :

5.1      Solve :    -50   =  0

This equation has no solution.

A a non-zero constant never equals zero.

Solving a Single Variable Equation :

5.2      Solve  :    n+2 = 0

Subtract  2  from both sides of the equation :

                     n = -2
