First, simplify out the brackets:
-20 - 4n = -12
Then, combine like terms by moving the -20 to the other side
-4n = -12 + 20
-4n = 8
Divide by -4 on both sides to isolate the n
n = 8/-4
n = -2
Part one is 11 1/8.
part two is 4 7/40.
Multiply 5/2 on both sides to clear the fraction.
-8(5/2)=(5/2)(2/5)(k-2)
-20 = k -2
Add 2 to both sides
-18 = k
