2- 1/2n=3n+16

I need you to solve the whole equation step by step

n = -4

Step-by-step explanation:

2 - 1/2 n = 3n + 16

Combine the constants by subtracting 2 from both sides.

-1/2n = 3n + 14

Combine the variable by subtracting 3n from both sides.

-7/2n = 14

Multiply both sides by 2 to simplify the fraction.

-7n = 28

Isolate n by dividing by -7 on both sides.

n = -4

Check.

2 - 1/2(-4) = 3(-4) + 16

2 + 2 = -12 + 16

4 = 4

Your answer is correct.
