DETAILED EXPLANATION

Look at -25=highlight_red%28+%28-highlight_red%28+1%2F4+%29%29%2An+%29.
Remove unneeded parentheses around factor highlight_red%28+1+%29,highlight_red%28+1%2F4+%29
It becomes -25=-highlight_green%28+1+%29%2Fhighlight_green%28+4+%29%2An.
Look at -25=-highlight_red%28+1+%29%2F4%2An.
Remove extraneous '1' from product highlight_red%28+1+%29
It becomes -25=-n%2F4.
Look at -25=highlight_red%28+-n%2F4+%29.
Moved these terms to the left highlight_green%28+n%2F4+%29
It becomes -25%2Bhighlight_green%28+n%2F4+%29=0.
Look at -highlight_red%28+25+%29%2Bn%2F4=0.
Moved -25 to the right of expression
It becomes n%2F4-highlight_green%28+25+%29=0.
Look at highlight_red%28+n%2F4-25+%29=0.
Solved linear equation highlight_red%28+n%2F4-25=0+%29 equivalent to 0.25*n-25 =0
It becomes highlight_green%28+0+%29=0.
Result: 0=0
This is an equation! Solutions: n=100.
