2+4+6+2n=n(n+1)

Solution for 2+4+6+2n=n(n+1) equation:

Simplifying
2 + 4 + 6 + 2n = n(n + 1)

Combine like terms: 2 + 4 = 6
6 + 6 + 2n = n(n + 1)

Combine like terms: 6 + 6 = 12
12 + 2n = n(n + 1)

Reorder the terms:
12 + 2n = n(1 + n)
12 + 2n = (1 * n + n * n)
12 + 2n = (1n + n2)

Solving
12 + 2n = 1n + n2

Solving for variable 'n'.

Combine like terms: 2n + -1n = 1n
12 + 1n + -1n2 = 1n + n2 + -1n + -1n2

Reorder the terms:
12 + 1n + -1n2 = 1n + -1n + n2 + -1n2

Combine like terms: 1n + -1n = 0
12 + 1n + -1n2 = 0 + n2 + -1n2
12 + 1n + -1n2 = n2 + -1n2

Combine like terms: n2 + -1n2 = 0
12 + 1n + -1n2 = 0

3 + -3 + n = 0 + -3

Combine like terms: 3 + -3 = 0
0 + n = 0 + -3
n = 0 + -3

Combine like terms: 0 + -3 = -3
n = -3

Simplifying
n = -3
Solution
n = {4, -3}
