12) -6n – 20 = -2n +4(1 – 3n)
what’s the first step

n = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

-6n - 20 = -2n + 4 (1-3n)

First distribute the 4 (1-3n)

-6n - 20 = -2n + 4 - 12n

Combine like terms on the right side

-6n - 20 = -14n + 4

Get 'n' on one side by adding -6n to both sides

-20 = -8n + 4

Subtract 4 to both sides

-24 = -8n

Divide -8 to both sides

3 = n

do you mean add both of the equations together

because if you do the answer is 10x-5
