@ madscientist --> I made those same type sign-us errors twice earlier today. I had to take a break and put drops in my eyes. No worries.

| 2 + 4n | - 4 = 14 
| 2 + 4n | = 14 + 4 = 18
2 + 4n = 18
4n = 18 -2 = 16
->n = 16/4 = 4

2+ n = -18
-> n = -18 + 2 = -16

anonymous · Answer

Oop 
2 + 4n = -18
4n = -18 - 2 = -20
-> n = -20/4 = -5
Thus n = 4, n = -5
