What is the value of n if 4n=12?

-3
3
6
24

The correct answer is: 3

When solving for the value of 'n', it is important to remember basic algebraic principles. In this case, we have an equation where 4 is being multiplied by 'n' and the result is 12. We can solve for 'n' by dividing both sides by 4, leaving us with n=3. Option A is incorrect because -3 does not satisfy the equation. When substituted into the equation, -3*4 equals -12, not 12. Option C is incorrect because multiplying 6 by 4 equals 24, not 12. Remember that we need to find the value of 'n' that makes the equation true. Option D is incorrect because 24 divided by 4 equals 6, not 12. Again, we need to find the value of 'n' for which the equation is true, not one that satisfies a different equation
