The equation is asking what number added to 2 and then that result multiplied by 4 is 28?
OpenStudy (hba):

Whatever answer you get it must satisfy what the equation is asking for:

Just plug in 5 in your question
if,
LHS=RHS
then you nailed it right @melissadavilamoya
OpenStudy (skullpatrol):
(n+2)x4=28
You think n=5
Check:
((5)+2)x4 =?= 28
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yes thats the answer

its 5 because 4x7=28 so you would do 7-2=5 there you go! =)
OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):
4*(n+2) = 28
distribute the 4
4n+2*4 = 28
4n+8 = 28
subtract 8 from both sides
4n = 20
devide by 4
n = 20/4 = 5
