Question
Solve the equation
n=12
Evaluate
4+2(n−1)=26
Move the expression to the left side
4+2(n−1)−26=0
Subtract the numbers
−22+2(n−1)=0
Calculate

Evaluate
−22+2(n−1)
Expand the expression

Calculate
2(n−1)
Apply the distributive property
2n−2×1
Any expression multiplied by 1 remains the same
2n−2
−22+2n−2
Subtract the numbers
−24+2n
−24+2n=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
2n=0+24
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
2n=24
Divide both sides
22n=224
Divide the numbers
n=224
