Question

I need help solving this math problem.... -8(4n-3)=280

Answer 1

n=-8 is the correct answer.

First you had to divide by negative eight (-8) from both sides of equation.

And it gave us ⇒ $\frac{-8(4n-3)}{-8}=\frac{280}{-8}$.

Then simplify.

And it gave us ⇒ $4n-3=-35$

You can also add by three (3) from both sides of equation.

And it gave us ⇒ $4n-3+3=-35+3$

Simplify.

And it gave us ⇒ $4n=-32$

Then divide by four (4) from both sides of equation.

And it gave us ⇒ $\frac{4n}{4}=\frac{-32}{4}$.

And finally, you had to simplify.

And it gave us the final answer is ⇒ $n=-8$

Hope this helps! And thank you for posting your question at here on brainly, and have a great day. -Charlie
