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.
