You can put this solution on YOUR website!
n%2F-7=4%2F7

Multiply both sides by 7:
7%2A%28n%2F-7%29=7%2A%284%2F7%29
-n=4

Divide by -1:

n=-4

Click on the link at the very bottom of this page that will take you to my Homepage. On my Homepage, look for "Basic, Intermediate, and College Algebra: One Step at a Time", click on "Basic Algebra", and look in Chapter 1 for Equation Solving. I think you will like my explanations. My own students liked them before I retired.
