Question

5-4(n+2)=18 what is n

Answer 1

5-4(n+2)=18
5-4= 1
1(n+2)
1xn = n
1(n+2)
1x2= 2
n+2
18-2= 16
n= 16

Answer 2

$5-4(n+2)=18$ 

$-4(n+2)=18-5$  $Subtract \ 5 \ from \ both \ sides$ 

$-4(n+2)=13$ 

$n+2= \dfrac{13}{-4}$    $Divide \ both \ sides \ by \ -4$

$n+2= -\dfrac{13}{4}$  

$n+2= -\dfrac{13}{4}-2$    $Subtract \ 2 \ from \ both \ sides$

$n=- \dfrac{21}{4}$

$Decimal \ Form: -5.25$
