Hello there!
Solve for n.
[tex]-4n-8n+17=23 [/tex]
Simplify from both sides of the equation.
[tex]-4n-8n+17=23[/tex]
[tex]-4n+-8n+17=23[/tex]
[tex](-4n+-8n)+(17)=23(Combine like terms!)[/tex]
[tex]-12n+17=23[/tex]
[tex]-12n+17=23[/tex]
You had to subtract by 17 from both sides of the equation.
[tex]-12n+17-17=23-17[/tex]
[tex]-12n=6[/tex]
Divide by -12 from both sides of the equation.
[tex]\frac{-12n}{-12}=\frac{6}{-12}[/tex]
Simplify should be the right answer.
[tex] n=\frac{-1}{2}[/tex]
Answer⇒n=-1/2
Hope this helps!
