-8n%2B4%281%2B5n%29=-6n-14 Start with the given equation.



-8n%2B4%2B20n=-6n-14 Distribute.



12n%2B4=-6n-14 Combine like terms on the left side.



12n=-6n-14-4 Subtract 4 from both sides.



12n%2B6n=-14-4 Add 6n to both sides.



18n=-14-4 Combine like terms on the left side.



18n=-18 Combine like terms on the right side.



n=%28-18%29%2F%2818%29 Divide both sides by 18 to isolate n.



n=-1 Reduce.

Answer:

So the solution is n=-1
