8%28-6%2B4n%29=-20%2B4n Start with the given equation.


-48%2B32n=-20%2B4n Distribute.


32n=-20%2B4n%2B48 Add 48 to both sides.


32n-4n=-20%2B48 Subtract 4n from both sides.


28n=-20%2B48 Combine like terms on the left side.


28n=28 Combine like terms on the right side.


n=%2828%29%2F%2828%29 Divide both sides by 28 to isolate n.


n=1 Reduce.
