2%2B6n-2n-2=-5%28-8n%2B8%29%2B4%288-7n%29 Start with the given equation.


2%2B6n-2n-2=40n-40%2B32-28n Distribute.


4n%2B0=40n-40%2B32-28n Combine like terms on the left side.


4n=40n-40%2B32-28n Simplify.


4n=12n-8 Combine like terms on the right side.


4n-12n=-8 Subtract 12n from both sides.


-8n=-8 Combine like terms on the left side.


n=%28-8%29%2F%28-8%29 Divide both sides by -8 to isolate n.


n=1 Reduce.
