Just combine like terms and solve for n.
n-8-8n=4n+16+2n
-8 - 7n = 6n + 16
-7n - 6n = 16 + 8
-13n = 24
n = -24/13

Given: N+-+8+-+8N+=+4N+%2B+16+%2B+2N
Start by combining like terms
-7N+-+8+=+6N+%2B+16 Add 7N to both sides
-8+=+13N+%2B+16 Subtrct 16 from both sides
-24+=+13N Divide both sides by 13
