Karissa Bates · Answer 1

n = - 5

Step-by-step explanation:

6n + 12 - 8n = 22

Combine like terms

-2n + 12 = 22

Subtract 12 from each side

-2n + 12-12 = 22-12

-2n = 10

Divide each side by - 2

-2n/-2 = 10/-2

n = - 5

Troy Bartlett · Answer 2

n = - 5

Explanation:

6n + 12 - 8n = 22

[ Simplify both sides of the equation ]

6n + 12 - 8n = 22

6n + 12 + - 8n = 22

(6n + - 8n) + (12) = 22 [Combine Like Terms]

-2n + 12 = 22

-2n + 12 = 22

[ Subtract 12 from both sides ]

-2n + 12 - 12 = 22 - 12

-2n = 10

[ Divide both sides by - 2 ]

-2n / - 2 = 10 / - 2

n = - 5
