3n-6+4\left(2-n\right)=n+2n
Use the distributive property to multiply 3 by n-2.
3n-6+8-4n=n+2n
Use the distributive property to multiply 4 by 2-n.
3n+2-4n=n+2n
Add -6 and 8 to get 2.
-n+2=n+2n
Combine 3n and -4n to get -n.
-n+2=3n
Combine n and 2n to get 3n.
-n+2-3n=0
Subtract 3n from both sides.
-4n+2=0
Combine -n and -3n to get -4n.
-4n=-2
Subtract 2 from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.
n=\frac{-2}{-4}
Divide both sides by -4.
n=\frac{1}{2}
Reduce the fraction \frac{-2}{-4} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out -2.
