-5n%2B6=5n-4 Start with the given equation.


-5n=5n-4-6 Subtract 6 from both sides.


-5n-5n=-4-6 Subtract 5n from both sides.


-10n=-4-6 Combine like terms on the left side.


-10n=-10 Combine like terms on the right side.


n=%28-10%29%2F%28-10%29 Divide both sides by -10 to isolate n.


n=1 Reduce.
