15-3n=n-1 Since n contains the variable to solve for, move it to the left-hand side of the equation by subtracting n from both sides. -3n+15-n=-1 Since -3n and -n are like terms, subtract n from -3n to get -4n. -4n+15=-1 Since 15 does not contain the variable to solve for, move it to the right-hand side of the equation by subtracting 15 from both sides. -4n=-15-1 Subtract 1 from -15 to get -16. -4n=-16 Divide each term in the equation by -4. -(4n)/(-4)=-(16)/(-4) Simplify the left-hand side of the equation by canceling the common factors. n=-(16)/(-4) Simplify the right-hand side of the equation by simplifying each term. n=4
