Solution Steps

To solve the equation \(12 = 4 - n\), we need to isolate the variable \(n\). We can do this by performing algebraic operations to both sides of the equation to solve for \(n\).

Solution Approach
  1. Subtract 4 from both sides of the equation to isolate the term with \(n\).
  2. Multiply both sides by -1 to solve for \(n\).
Step 1: Subtract 4 from both sides

Starting with the equation: \[ 12 = 4 - n \]

Subtract 4 from both sides: \[ 12 - 4 = 4 - n - 4 \]

This simplifies to: \[ 8 = -n \]

Step 2: Multiply both sides by -1

To isolate \( n \), multiply both sides by -1: \[ -1 \cdot 8 = -1 \cdot (-n) \]

This simplifies to: \[ -8 = n \]

Final Answer

The value of \( n \) is: \[ \boxed{n = -8} \]
