You want to get the n alone, so the first step is always to get any other values away from the n. In this case, it would be the negative four.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so would you subtract the four on each side?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No, you would add for "+(-4)" is equal to "-4". You just want to get rid of it and if you subtracted you would get -8 instead of 0. So you would add four.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh, okay. thank you!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No problem, any more questions about this one?

OpenStudy (anonymous):
