Solution

The correct option is C 142
Consider $- 15 (2 + n) = - 16 (n - 7)$
Now solve for $n$ , we get
$\Rightarrow - 15 (2 + n) = - 16 (n - 7)$
$\Rightarrow - 30 - 15 n = - 16 n + 112$
$\Rightarrow 16 n - 15 n = 112 + 30$
$\Rightarrow n = 142$ .

- 15 (2 + n) = - 16 (n - 7)

\frac{3 (n - 2) + 5}{4} = \frac{11 - (7 - n)}{6}

16^{n + 1} = 64 \times 4^{- n}

n

Factorise $(n^{2} + 22 n + 96)$

6 (3 n - 2) - 1 = \frac{9}{4}

3 n - 2
