Just in case you are yet in need of understanding or a solution.
...
First equation
14 + 5n = -4n + 17
Group like terms - get the n on one side
14 + 5n - 14 + 4n = -4n + 17 + 4n - 14
5n + 4n = 17 - 14
Combine like terms
9n = 3
Isolate n by dividing both sides by 9

n =
...
Second equation
x - 3 = 2 - x
Group like terms
x + x = 2 + 3
Establish common denominators
x + x = 5
x + x = 5
x = 5
Multiply both sides by 4
x
5x = 20
Divide both sides by 5
=
x = 4
