8=|6+2n|-4 8+4=|6+2n|-4+4 ... add 4 to both sides 12 = |6+2n| |6+2n| = 12 making sense so far?

Let's solve your equation step-by-step. 8=|6+2n|−4 8=|2n+6|−4 Step 1: Flip the equation. |2n+6|−4=8 Step 2: Add 4 to both sides. |2n+6|−4+4=8+4 |2n+6|=12 Step 3: Solve Absolute Value. |2n+6|=12 We know either 2n+6=12 or 2n+6=−12 2n+6=12(Possibility 1) 2n+6−6=12−6(Subtract 6 from both sides) 2n=6 2n 2 = 6 2 (Divide both sides by 2) n=3 2n+6=−12(Possibility 2) 2n+6−6=−12−6(Subtract 6 from both sides) 2n=−18 2n 2 = −18 2 (Divide both sides by 2) n=−9 Answer: n=3 or n=−9

i just dont get this part = −18 2 (Divide both sides by 2) n=−9 Answer: n=3 or n=−9
