4n - 2n = 4 .
Before we continue with the solution to this problem,
it will help us to remember that
4 cows - 2 cows = 2 cows
4 beers - 2 beers = 2 beers
4 books - 2 books = 2 books
4 dollars - 2 dollars = 2 dollars.
Similarly, on the left side of the equation, 4n-2n = 2n.
So now the equation actually says
2n = 4
Divide each side by 2:
n = 2

Move the 2n over the equals sign. Become 4n (as 6n-2n= 4n) and then if 4n=16 then n=4.
4n - 7n = 21(4-7) n =21-3n = 21divide both sides by -3n = -7
Well, honey, it ain't rocket science. To multiply 4n by 2n, you simply multiply the coefficients (4 and 2) to get 8, and then multiply the variables (n and n) to get n^2. Put 'em together and you've got 8n^2. Easy peasy lemon squeezy!
I am assuming that 2n is an algebraic expression, and n is limited to positive integer values. The first 4 multiples of 2n are 0 (2n*0), 2n (2n*1), 4n (2n*2), and 6n (2n*3). If you are looking for non-0 multiples, you would also include 8n (2n*4).
