Question

Solve this question 4-6n=8(n+7) do the distribute property

Answer 1

Answer:

n=3 5/7

Step-by-step explanation:

8(n+7) Multiply each term in the parenthesis by 8

8n + 8 x 7

8n + 56

4 - 6n = 8n + 56

move variable to the left by adding its opposite to both sides

-6n - 8n + 4 = 8n - 8n +56

eliminate the opposites

-6n - 8n + 4 = 56

collect like terms by calculating the sum or difference of their coefficients

-6n - 8n

(-6 - 8)n

calculate the difference

-14n

divide both sides of the equation by -14

-14n / (-14) = 52 / (-14)

n = 52 / (-14)

n = -52/14

n= -26/7

alternative form of writing the answer is

n= -3 5/7 or n= 3.71429
