Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define

Identify + set up

8n + 4 = 4 · 13

Step 2: Solve for x

1. Multiply:                                                                                                             8n + 4 = 52
2. [Subtraction Property of Equality] Subtract 4 on both sides:                        8n = 48
3. [Division Property of Equality] Divide 8 on both sides:                                 n = 6
