You can put this solution on YOUR website!
equation you want to solve is
\n" ); document.write( "n-(8+4n) = 2(3n-4)
\n" ); document.write( "this translates to
\n" ); document.write( "n - (8+4*n) = 2*(3*n-4)
\n" ); document.write( "the equation then becomes
\n" ); document.write( "n - 8 - 4*n = 2*3*n - 2*4
\n" ); document.write( "this becomes
\n" ); document.write( "n - 8 - 4*n = 6*n - 8
\n" ); document.write( "adding 8 to both sides of the equation, we get
\n" ); document.write( "n - 4*n = 6*n
\n" ); document.write( "this becomes
\n" ); document.write( "-3*n = 6*n
\n" ); document.write( "adding 3*n to both sides of the equation, we get
\n" ); document.write( "0 = 6*n + 3*n
\n" ); document.write( "this becomes
\n" ); document.write( "0 = 9*n
\n" ); document.write( "dividing both sides of the equation by 9, we get
\n" ); document.write( "0 = n
\n" ); document.write( "this is the same as
\n" ); document.write( "n = 0
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
