4n%2B5=6n%2B7
-----
subtract 4n from both sides of the equation and subtract 7 from both sides of the equation.
you will get:
5+-+7+=+6n+-+4n
-----
this becomes:
-2+=+2n which becomes n+=+-1
-----
to see if this is correct, we substitute in the original equation to get:
%284+%2A+%28-1%29%29+%2B+5+=+%286+%2A+%28-1%29%29+%2B+7 which becomes:
-4+%2B+5+=+-6+%2B+7+which becomes:
1+=+1 proving that the value of n+=+-1 is good.
