Question 104880

{{{n-8+n=1-4n}}} Start with the given equation




{{{2n-8=1-4n}}} Combine like terms on the left side



{{{2n=1-4n+8}}}Add 8 to both sides



{{{2n+4n=1+8}}} Add 4n to both sides



{{{6n=1+8}}} Combine like terms on the left side



{{{6n=9}}} Combine like terms on the right side



{{{n=(9)/(6)}}} Divide both sides by 6 to isolate n




{{{n=3/2}}} Reduce


--------------------------------------------------------------

Answer:

So our answer is {{{n=3/2}}}  (which is approximately {{{n=1.5}}} in decimal form)
