Isolate variable n: First, we need to isolate the variable n on one side of the equation. To do this, we can start by adding 2 to both sides of the equation to cancel out the −2 on the left side.4n−2+2=2+2
Simplify equation: Now, we simplify both sides of the equation. 4n=4
Multiply by 4: To solve for n, we need to get rid of the division by 4. We can do this by multiplying both sides of the equation by 4.(4n)×4=4×4
Find value of n: After multiplying, we simplify the equation to find the value of n.n=16
