2%28n%2B4%29=8-6%28n-4%29 Start with the given equation.


2n%2B8=8-6n%2B24 Distribute.


2n%2B8=-6n%2B32 Combine like terms on the right side.


2n=-6n%2B32-8 Subtract 8 from both sides.


2n%2B6n=32-8 Add 6n to both sides.


8n=32-8 Combine like terms on the left side.


8n=24 Combine like terms on the right side.


n=%2824%29%2F%288%29 Divide both sides by 8 to isolate n.


n=3 Reduce.
