Translating EXACTLY what you "said",
82%2An-44=-%28-48%29%2Bn. You may mean something else, but that is the exact translation of the worded description. You could solve that equation for n, decide if the result is what it needs to be, and then decide how to write in English what should be written and how to change the equation to fit what you want.
