Answer

$n=\left\{ -\dfrac{8}{7},4 \right\}$

Work Step by Step

Using the Distributive Property, the given expression, $ 3n(7n-20)=96 ,$ simplifies to \begin{array}{l}\require{cancel} 3n(7n)+3n(-20)=96 \\\\ 21n^2-60n=96 \\\\ 21n^2-60n-96=0 \\\\ \dfrac{21n^2-60n-96}{3}=\dfrac{0}{3} \\\\ 7n^2-20n-32=0 \\\\ (7n+8)(n-4)=0 \\\\ n=\left\{ -\dfrac{8}{7},4 \right\} .\end{array}
