    D.) 16

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Solve for n:

    -n/2 = - 8

    Multiply both sides of - n/2 = - 8 by - 2:

    (-2 (-n)) / 2 = - 2 (-8)

    -2 * (-1) / 2 = (-2 (-1)) / 2:

    (-2 (-1)) / 2 n = - 2 (-8)

    (-2) / 2 = (2 (-1)) / 2 = - 1:

    --1 n = - 2 (-8)

    (-1) ^2 = 1:

    n = - 2 (-8)

    -2 (-8) = 16:

    Answer: n = 16

    D

    Step-by-step explanation:

    When we divide the entire equation by - 1/2 to get rid of the coefficient of n we get n = 16.
