I need my work checked please.
Given the following equation:
-6(n - 8) = 4(12 - 5n) + 14n
First apply the distributive property then combine like terms.
-6 * n + (-6 * -8) = 4 * 12 + (4 * -5n) + 14n
-6n + 48 = 48 - 20n + 14n
-6n + 48 = 48 - 6n
0 = 0
The solution is true for any value of n, since both sides are identical.
