Answer 1

Hi Christabel A.

Answer is C

You just need to use PEMDAS then solve for n for moving the variables to one side of the equation and the constants to the other side

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

2n + 8 = 8 -6n + 24

2n + 6n = 8 - 8 + 24

8n = 24

n = 3

You can check the number by plugging 3 into your original equation
