Question

Explain why a step in solving the equation 4n= -36 is to divide both sides by 4. Then solve the equation

Answer 1

The correct value of ''n'' in this equation will be -9

• Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find the value of ''n'' in this equation of the first degree, just isolate ''n'', and divide the right side into the left side of the equation:

• Resolution:

$\large \sf 4n= -36$

$\large \sf n= -36\div4$

$\large \sf n= \dfrac{-36}{4}$

$\boxed{\boxed{{\large \sf n=-9}}}$

So we can conclude that the value of ''n'' in this equation will be -9
