in the future, please use * as multiplication sign
79+%2A+20+=+%2880+%2A+20%29+-+%28n+%2A+20%29+...here you can disregard parenthesis

79+%2A+20+=+80+%2A+20+-+n+%2A+20+......each term is a product of 20 and
something else; so, we can divide both sides by 20 to simplify


79+%2A+20%2F20+=+80+%2A+20%2F20+-n+%2A+20%2F20+

79+=+80+-n+

79%2Bn+=+80+-n+%2Bn

79%2Bn-79+=+80+-79

n=+1
