Question

How do you solve `16= 4n`?

Answer 1

Divide both sides by `n`'s multiplier to get your answer, 4

Explanation:

`16=4n`

`16/4=(4n)/4`

`4=n`

Answer 2

See explanation given.

Explanation:

The objective when solving two-step or one-step equations is to isolate the variable. 16 = 4n is a one-step equation. One operation is required to solve. Since 4n means `4*n` , you can "undo" this by dividing by the coefficient. Just remember: what you do to one side of the equals sign, you must do to the other side of the equals sign.

`16=4n`

`16/4=(4n)/4`

`4=n or n=4`
