Solve for n -9+n/4=-7

$- 9 + \frac{n}{4} = - 7$

Step 1

Move all terms not containing $n$ to the right side of the equation.

Add $9$ to both sides of the equation.

$\frac{n}{4} = - 7 + 9$

Add $- 7$ and $9$ .

$\frac{n}{4} = 2$

Step 2

Multiply both sides of the equation by $4$ .

$4 \frac{n}{4} = 4 \cdot 2$

Step 3

Simplify both sides of the equation.

Simplify the left side.

Cancel the common factor of $4$ .

Cancel the common factor.

$4 \frac{n}{4} = 4 \cdot 2$

Rewrite the expression.

$n = 4 \cdot 2$

Simplify the right side.

Multiply $4$ by $2$ .

$n = 8$
