Question

I need help on this word expression problem.
The product of 4 and a number is 18 more than twice the number. This can be simplified (I think) to 4n - 18 = 2n. While a guess or straight answer can be typed, I'd prefer an explanation on the steps. :)

Answer 1

your equation is correct.

Answer 2

Alright, can you help me solve n?

Answer 3

alright let's move all the term with n on one side of the equation ...

Answer 4

Okay.

Answer 5

4n -2n -18 = 0

Answer 6

so thats: 2n -18 = 0

Answer 7

now lets move 18 to the right side of the equation

-18 will become plus 18

2n = 0 +18

Answer 8

2n =18

lastly you divide both sides by 2

Answer 9

so, n = 9
