Question

consider this equation: -2(4 + n)=24. correctly order the steps used to solve this equation. (3 points) step 1: step 2: step 3: add 4 to both sides of the equation. subtract 4 from both sides of the equation. multiply both sides of the equation with -2. divide both side of the equation by -2. subtract 2 from both sides of the equation. the equation has been solved. there are no more steps.

Explanation:

Step1: Isolate the parenthesis term

Divide both sides of the equation by - 2.
$\frac{-2(4 + n)}{-2}=\frac{24}{-2}$

Step2: Simplify the equation

$4 + n=-12$

Step3: Solve for n

Subtract 4 from both sides of the equation.
$4 + n-4=-12 - 4$

Answer:

Step 1: Divide both side of the equation by -2.
Step 2: Simplify to get $4 + n=-12$.
Step 3: Subtract 4 from both sides of the equation.
