Eight more than the product of four and a number is twice the sum of the number and six. Write an equation that can be used to solve for this number. What is the number?
4n+8=2(n+6) Now isolate the n on one side of the equation: 4n+8=2n+12(distribution of the 2) 4n=2n+4(combine like terms) 2n=4(combine like variables) N=2(isolate the n)
