To solve the equation |-2 - 4n| = 34, we need to consider two cases: when the expression inside the absolute value is positive and when it is negative.

Case 1: -2 - 4n ≥ 0
If -2 - 4n ≥ 0, we can remove the absolute value symbols without changing the equation:

-2 - 4n = 34

Now, solve for n:
-4n = 34 + 2
-4n = 36
n = 36 / -4
n = -9

Case 2: -2 - 4n < 0
