Solve for n n+n+n+n=16

$n + n + n + n = 16$

Step 1

Simplify $n + n + n + n$ .

Add $n$ and $n$ .

$2 n + n + n = 16$

Add $2 n$ and $n$ .

$3 n + n = 16$

Add $3 n$ and $n$ .

$4 n = 16$

Step 2

Divide each term in $4 n = 16$ by $4$ and simplify.

Divide each term in $4 n = 16$ by $4$ .

$\frac{4 n}{4} = \frac{16}{4}$

Simplify the left side.

Cancel the common factor of $4$ .

Cancel the common factor.

$\frac{4 n}{4} = \frac{16}{4}$

Divide $n$ by $1$ .

$n = \frac{16}{4}$

Simplify the right side.

Divide $16$ by $4$ .

$n = 4$
