14-3n=-10

Subtract 14 from each side:
-3n = -10-14
-3n =-24

Divide both sides by -3:
n = 8

For more help with the topic of Equation Solving, please see my own website. Do a "Bing" search for my last name "Rapalje", and look for "Rapalje Homepage" near the top of the Bing Search. Near the top of my Homepage is a link "Basic, Intermediate and College Algebra: One Step at a Time." Click on this link and choose "Basic Algebra". Look for "Chapter 1: Equation Solving". Also, look for my "MATH IN LIVING COLOR" pages for most of these sections.
