Question

N-2=10n+4 over 2 what is the value of n

Answer 1

Consider the given equation:

$n-2 = \frac{10n+4}{2}$

Cross multiplying in the given equation, we get

$(n-2) \times 2 = 10n+4$

Applying distributive property which states $a(b+c) = ab+ac$, we get

$(n \times 2) - (2 \times 2) = 10n+4$

$2n -4 = 10n+4$

Adding '4' on both the sides, we get

$2n-4+4 = 10n+4+4$

$2n = 10n+8$

Subtracting '10n' from both the sides of the equation, we get

$2n-10n = 10n+8-10n$

$-8n = 8$

Dividing by '-8' in both the sides of the equation, we get

$n= -1$

Therefore, the value of 'n' is -1.
