Answer:

-4

Step-by-step explanation:

1. 6(4 - n) = 48

2. 24 - 6n = 48

   -24          -24

3. -6n = 24

4. n = -4

Let's say we have a number s.

Six times the difference of 4 and s is equal to 48.

6(4-s)=48

Distribute 6:

24-6s=48

-6s+24=48

Move 24 to the right, using the [tex]\pmb{opposite\;operation}[/tex].

Since the opposite of addition is subtraction, we subtract 24:

-6s=48-24

-6s=24

Divide both sides by -6:
