Question

Show your work. Solve for n -4n-8n+17=23

Answer 1

-12n + 17 = 23
-17 -17

-12n = 6
/-12 /-12

N = - 1/2

N = -.5

Answer 2

Hello there!

Solve for n.

$-4n-8n+17=23$

Simplify from both sides of the equation.

$-4n-8n+17=23$

$-4n+-8n+17=23$

$(-4n+-8n)+(17)=23(Combine like terms!)$

$-12n+17=23$

$-12n+17=23$

You had to subtract by 17 from both sides of the equation.

$-12n+17-17=23-17$

$-12n=6$

Divide by -12 from both sides of the equation.

$\frac{-12n}{-12}=\frac{6}{-12}$

Simplify should be the right answer.

$n=\frac{-1}{2}$

Answer⇒n=-1/2

Hope this helps!
