Question

16 + 2n = 10

Answer 1

1. Subtract 16 from both sides, and what do you get?

Answer 2

4?

Answer 3

close, basically 16-16 + 2n = 10 - 16
So 2n = -6

Answer 4

then do get the value of n, you divide both sides by 2

Answer 5

thank you

Answer 6

so 2n/2 = -6/2
n = -3

Answer 7

Then stick n back in, and make sure the original equation is true (just to make sure I didn't mess up =)).

Answer 8

16 + 2n = 10
16 + 2*-3 = 10
16 -6 = 10
10 = 10

Answer 9

so looks legit to me!

Answer 10

ya it does so the answer it -3

Answer 11

The whole idea of these problems is doing the same operation to both sides (in this case, subtract 16, and then divide by 2) in order to get "n" all by itself

Answer 12

and then yes, that's the answer, n = -3

Answer 13

thank you so much

Answer 14

No problem! Good luck.
