Solution Steps

To solve for n n in the equation 12(n4)3=3(2n+3)\frac{1}{2}(n-4)-3=3-(2n+3), we need to follow these steps:

  1. Distribute the 12\frac{1}{2} on the left side.
  2. Simplify both sides of the equation.
  3. Combine like terms and isolate n n .
Step 1: Distribute and Simplify

Starting with the equation: 12(n4)3=3(2n+3) \frac{1}{2}(n-4) - 3 = 3 - (2n + 3)

Distribute 12\frac{1}{2} on the left side: 12n23=32n3 \frac{1}{2}n - 2 - 3 = 3 - 2n - 3

Simplify both sides: 12n5=2n \frac{1}{2}n - 5 = -2n

Step 2: Combine Like Terms

Combine like terms to isolate n n : 12n+2n=5 \frac{1}{2}n + 2n = 5

Combine the terms on the left side: 2.5n=5 2.5n = 5

Step 3: Solve for n n

Divide both sides by 2.5: n=52.5=2 n = \frac{5}{2.5} = 2

Final Answer

The value of n n is: n=2 \boxed{n = 2}

Thus, the answer is n=2 n = 2 .
