3n%2B1=-n%2B2 Start with the given equation.


3n=-n%2B2-1 Subtract 1 from both sides.


3n%2Bn=2-1 Add n to both sides.


4n=2-1 Combine like terms on the left side.


4n=1 Combine like terms on the right side.


n=%281%29%2F%284%29 Divide both sides by 4 to isolate n.

Answer:

So the solution is n=1%2F4
