Question

How do you factor `6-2(n+4)`?

Answer 1

`-2(n+1)`

Explanation:

Distribute the `-2` throughout the set of parenthesis
`6-2n-8`

Combine like terms
`6-8=-2`

So the problem now looks like:
`-2n-2`

To factor, you would take out a GCF (Greatest Common Factor)
`-2(n+1)`

And that is the answer!
