4(n + 3) = 2n + 8

OpenStudy (anonymous):

4n+4*3=2n+8 4n+12=2n+8 subtract 2n both the sides 4n-2n+12=2n-2n+8 2n+12=8 subtract 8 both the sides 2n+12-8=8-8 2n+12=0 2n=-12 divide by 2 n=-6 ;)

im sorry i keep asking the same questions i just dont understand the steps to solving this :(

OpenStudy (anonymous):

u gotta bring like terms 2gehter

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hmm that can't be the answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i know but its so hard :(

OpenStudy (anonymous):

n=-6 is ur answer and it aint hard

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but its not one of the options

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oops sorry n=-2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2n+12-8=0 2n+4=0 2n=-4 n=-2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh okay :)

OpenStudy (johnweldon1993):

4n+4*3=2n+8 4n+12=2n+8 subtract 2n both the sides 4n-2n+12=2n-2n+8 2n+12=8 subtract 8 both the sides 2n+12-8=8-8 2n+12=0 2n=-12 divide by 2 n=-6 ;) he had this right up until 2n+12=8 subtract 12 both the sides ***** 2n+12 - 12= 8-12 2n = -4 n = -2
