Hey there!
To find the opposite of a number, you switch its sign, and to do so, you would multiply by -1. This gives us the equation below.
n=-n+96
To find our number, we need to isolate all of our n's on one side of the equation. Let's try adding n to both sides.
2n=96
We divide both sides by 2.
n=48
As you can see, the opposite of 48 is -48, and 48 is 96 more than -48.
Therefore, our number is 48.
I hope this helps!
