To solve for n in the equation -2(4+n) = 24, you need to follow a few steps:

Step 1: Distribute the -2 to the terms inside the parentheses:
-8 - 2n = 24

Step 2: Move the constant term to the other side of the equation by adding 8 to both sides:
-2n = 24 + 8
-2n = 32

Step 3: Divide both sides of the equation by -2 to isolate n:
n = 32 / -2
n = -16

Therefore, the solution to the equation is n = -16.
