$\"-7%285-n%29=3%28n%2B8%29%2B1\"$ Start with the given equation.

$\"-35%2B7n=3n%2B24%2B1\"$ Distribute.

$\"-35%2B7n=25%2B3n\"$ Combine like terms on the right side.

$\"7n=25%2B3n%2B35\"$ Add $\"35\"$ to both sides.

$\"7n-3n=25%2B35\"$ Subtract $\"3n\"$ from both sides.

$\"4n=25%2B35\"$ Combine like terms on the left side.

$\"4n=60\"$ Combine like terms on the right side.

$\"n=%2860%29%2F%284%29\"$ Divide both sides by $\"4\"$ to isolate $\"n\"$ .

$\"n=15\"$ Reduce.
