Evaluate 4n-2n=4

$4 n - 2 n = 4$

Step 1

Subtract $2 n$ from $4 n$ .

$2 n = 4$

Step 2

Divide each term in $2 n = 4$ by $2$ and simplify.

Divide each term in $2 n = 4$ by $2$ .

$\frac{2 n}{2} = \frac{4}{2}$

Simplify the left side.

Cancel the common factor of $2$ .

Cancel the common factor.

$\frac{2 n}{2} = \frac{4}{2}$

Divide $n$ by $1$ .

$n = \frac{4}{2}$

Simplify the right side.

Divide $4$ by $2$ .

$n = 2$
