Question

just need my answer checked... will give an award!
Question: 8(2n-5) =4n+ 8
My Answer: 6
*If got wrong please explain to me why! :)
I now know I got it wrong... just help me figure it out please!

Answer 1

With 6 entered in as n the problem would go as follows
\[8\left( 2 * 6 - 5 \right) = \left( 4*6 \right) + 8\]
\[88 = 32 \]
which is false

Answer 2

I so lost! I dont know how else
to do it

Answer 3

Empty set

Answer 4

I think the answer might be 4 I'll try entering that in

Answer 5

\[8\left( 2*4-5 \right) = 4* 4 + 8\]
\[8(3) = 16+ 8\]
\[24 = 24\]

Answer 6

8(2n-5) =4n+ 8
16n-40=4n+8
Add like terms. In this case you would subtract 4n from both sides and add 40 to both sides.
16n-4n=8+40
12n=48
Now divide both sides by 12.
n=4
