Solve for n.

n + 1 = 4 (n - 8)

n = 1

T

n = 8

n = 11

n = 16

N = 11

question:

n+1 = 4 (n-8)

first step: distribute 4 through the parenthesis:

n+1 = 4n-32

next step: move the variable to the left hand side and change the sign:

n-4n+1 = - 32

next step: collect the like terms:

-3n = - 32-1

last step: divide both sides by - 3:

-3n = - 33

solution: n = 11

n=11

Step-by-step explanation:

n+1=4 (n-8)

11+1=4 (11-8)

12=4 (3)

12=12
