n-8%2Bn=1-4n Start with the given equation.



-8%2B2n=1-4n Combine like terms on the left side.



2n=1-4n%2B8 Add 8 to both sides.



2n%2B4n=1%2B8 Add 4n to both sides.



6n=1%2B8 Combine like terms on the left side.



6n=9 Combine like terms on the right side.



n=%289%29%2F%286%29 Divide both sides by 6 to isolate n.



n=3%2F2 Reduce.



----------------------------------------------------------------------

Answer:

So the solution is n=3%2F2
