Question

What value of n makes the equation 4(0.5n -3) = n-0.25 (12 - 8n) true

Answer 1

Answer:

n = -9

Step-by-step explanation:

4(0.5n -3) = n-0.25 (12 - 8n)

First use the Distributive Law to expand the parentheses:-

2n - 12 = n - 3 + 2n

2n - 12 = 3n - 3

Subtract 2n from both sides:-

-12 = n - 3

Add 3 to both sides:-

-9 = n
