n\left(x-2\right)\times 3+\left(x^{2}-4\right)\times 2=n\left(4x-4\right)
Variable n cannot be equal to 0 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by n\left(x-2\right)\left(x+2\right), the least common multiple of x+2,n,x^{2}-4.
\left(nx-2n\right)\times 3+\left(x^{2}-4\right)\times 2=n\left(4x-4\right)
Use the distributive property to multiply n by x-2.
3nx-6n+\left(x^{2}-4\right)\times 2=n\left(4x-4\right)
Use the distributive property to multiply nx-2n by 3.
3nx-6n+2x^{2}-8=n\left(4x-4\right)
Use the distributive property to multiply x^{2}-4 by 2.
3nx-6n+2x^{2}-8=4nx-4n
Use the distributive property to multiply n by 4x-4.
3nx-6n+2x^{2}-8-4nx=-4n
Subtract 4nx from both sides.
-nx-6n+2x^{2}-8=-4n
Combine 3nx and -4nx to get -nx.
-nx-6n+2x^{2}-8+4n=0
Add 4n to both sides.
-nx-2n+2x^{2}-8=0
Combine -6n and 4n to get -2n.
-nx-2n-8=-2x^{2}
Subtract 2x^{2} from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.
-nx-2n=-2x^{2}+8
Add 8 to both sides.
\left(-x-2\right)n=-2x^{2}+8
Combine all terms containing n.
\left(-x-2\right)n=8-2x^{2}
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{\left(-x-2\right)n}{-x-2}=\frac{8-2x^{2}}{-x-2}
Divide both sides by -x-2.
n=\frac{8-2x^{2}}{-x-2}
Dividing by -x-2 undoes the multiplication by -x-2.
n=2x-4
Divide -2x^{2}+8 by -x-2.
n=2x-4\text{, }n\neq 0
Variable n cannot be equal to 0.
n\left(x-2\right)\times 3+\left(x^{2}-4\right)\times 2=n\left(4x-4\right)
Variable n cannot be equal to 0 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by n\left(x-2\right)\left(x+2\right), the least common multiple of x+2,n,x^{2}-4.
\left(nx-2n\right)\times 3+\left(x^{2}-4\right)\times 2=n\left(4x-4\right)
Use the distributive property to multiply n by x-2.
3nx-6n+\left(x^{2}-4\right)\times 2=n\left(4x-4\right)
Use the distributive property to multiply nx-2n by 3.
3nx-6n+2x^{2}-8=n\left(4x-4\right)
Use the distributive property to multiply x^{2}-4 by 2.
3nx-6n+2x^{2}-8=4nx-4n
Use the distributive property to multiply n by 4x-4.
3nx-6n+2x^{2}-8-4nx=-4n
Subtract 4nx from both sides.
-nx-6n+2x^{2}-8=-4n
Combine 3nx and -4nx to get -nx.
-nx-6n+2x^{2}-8+4n=0
Add 4n to both sides.
-nx-2n+2x^{2}-8=0
Combine -6n and 4n to get -2n.
-nx-2n-8=-2x^{2}
Subtract 2x^{2} from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.
-nx-2n=-2x^{2}+8
Add 8 to both sides.
\left(-x-2\right)n=-2x^{2}+8
