What is the value of n in the equation –negative StartFraction one-half EndFraction left-parenthesis 2 n plus 4 right-parenthesis plus 6 equals negative 9 plus 4 left parenthesis 2 n plus 1 right-parenthesis.(2n + 4) + 6 = –9 + 4(2n + 1)? n =
Use the order of operations, you need to combine like terms and distribute. Then get x to one side and solve for it. Let me know if and when you are stuck
im confused
ok, sorry I was afk. So let me walk you through the little steps. (2n + 4) + 6 = –9 + 4(2n + 1) solving for n distribute first: (2n+4)+6 = -9 +(8n+4) combine like terms: 2n+10 = 8n-5 subtract 2n and add 5 on both sides.: 2n - 2n + 10 -5 = 8n - 2n -5 +5 (just subtract 2n from both sides then add 5 on both sides) you get 5 = 6n. divide by 6 to find n
its okay i was just going to wait anyways
okay, do you understand everything I said above?
You still there lol
yeah im back
Do you understand everything stated above?
not really if imma be honest with you
let me rewrite it (2n + 4) + 6 = –9 + 4(2n + 1) solving for n distribute first: (2n+4)+6 = -9 +(8n+4) combine like terms: 2n+10 = 8n-5 subtract 2n : 2n - 2n + 10 = 8n - 2n -5 add 5 on both sides now: 10 + 5 = 6n -5 + 5 15 = 6n you get 15 = 6n. divide by 6 to find n
im back i went to get a snack im sorry
Its good. Your problem has been solved.
I am the darkknight
