8(3n+1)=4(6n-2)

OpenStudy (uri):

Solve the paretheses first like you showed me

OpenStudy (uri):

parentheses*

OpenStudy (anonymous):

24n+8=24n-8

OpenStudy (uri):

Now subract 8 both sides

OpenStudy (uri):

24n+8=24n-8 -8 -8 ============ @ineedhelp1110

OpenStudy (anonymous):

24n=24n-16

OpenStudy (uri):

Now bring 24n to the right side 24n-24n <--both will be cancelled.

OpenStudy (uri):

0=-16

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so 0=16?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

And that's the final answer is 0=-16? Although that doesn't make sense its impossible

OpenStudy (anonymous):

8(3n+1)=4(6n-2) +2 +2| 8(3n+3)=4(6n) /4 /4 2(3n+3)=6n -3n -3n 2(3)=3n 6=3n /3 /3 n=2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i believe thats how its done

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You can't add the two though its inside a parentheses?

OpenStudy (uri):

24n+8=24n-8 24n-24n=-8-8 0=-16

OpenStudy (uri):

no solution!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh okay that makes sense then

OpenStudy (anonymous):

8(3n+1)=4(6n-2) 24n + 8 = 24n - 8 -24n -24n ----- ----- 8 = -8 -- -- 8 8 1 = -1 NO SOLUTION
