I think that I need to add the 2 n's together, but I am not sure how, since one is negative, and there is no value is it 0?  So would it just be .4n?  or -.4n?  Then I think I need to add -1.8 to each side, which would then be .4n = -6.0  and the answer would be -15.  Am I on the right track? </SPAN>\n" );
