To solve for n, we need to simplify the equation step by step.

-2(4 + n) = 24

First, we distribute -2 to both terms inside the parentheses:

-8 - 2n = 24

Next, we move -8 to the other side of the equation by adding 8 to both sides:

-2n = 24 + 8

-2n = 32

Finally, we solve for n by dividing both sides of the equation by -2:

n = 32 / -2

n = -16

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