n%2F25=q%2B18%2F25

Try smallest possible q just to be simple.
q=1
n%2F25=1%2B18%2F25
n=25%281%2B18%2F25%29
n=25%2B18
highlight%28n=43%29-----a good possible answer

q should be able to be any natural or whole number.
If 1=2, then n=25%282%2B18%2F25%29=50%2B18=highlight%2868=n%29.

See further that either of these n values, if n is divided by 5, remainder will be 3.
