Homework Help Forum: 8th grade

Posted by Jenny on Monday, October 5, 2009 at 10:27pm.

Can you help me solve this equation.
6n-(-2n)+8

  • 8th grade - Emma, Monday, October 5, 2009 at 10:30pm

    6n-(-2n)+8
    6n--2n+8
    8n+8
    8(n+1)
    n=-1

    I hope this is right.

    you wouldn't be solving for n, just trying to simplify the equation:

    6n-(-2n)+8
    6n+2n+8
    8n+8

    you can't simplify anymore, so therefore your answer would be 8n+8
