0=-16

-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

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
