Which value of n makes the equation true? - 1/2n = - 8

A.) - 16

B.) - 4

C.) 4

D.) 16

D

Step-by-step explanation:

When we divide the entire equation by - 1/2 to get rid of the coefficient of n we get n = 16.

D.) 16

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for n:

-n/2 = - 8

Multiply both sides of - n/2 = - 8 by - 2:

(-2 (-n)) / 2 = - 2 (-8)

-2 * (-1) / 2 = (-2 (-1)) / 2:

(-2 (-1)) / 2 n = - 2 (-8)

(-2) / 2 = (2 (-1)) / 2 = - 1:

--1 n = - 2 (-8)

(-1) ^2 = 1:

n = - 2 (-8)

-2 (-8) = 16:

Answer: n = 16
