$\"n-8%2Bn=1-4n\"$ Start with the given equation.

$\"-8%2B2n=1-4n\"$ Combine like terms on the left side.

$\"2n=1-4n%2B8\"$ Add $\"8\"$ to both sides.

$\"2n%2B4n=1%2B8\"$ Add $\"4n\"$ to both sides.

$\"6n=1%2B8\"$ Combine like terms on the left side.

$\"6n=9\"$ Combine like terms on the right side.

$\"n=%289%29%2F%286%29\"$ Divide both sides by $\"6\"$ to isolate $\"n\"$ .

$\"n=3%2F2\"$ Reduce.
