$n = - 11$ $n=-11$

This can be solve by using simple algebraic properties. Here we have;

$18 - 4 n = 62$ $18-4n=62$

Subtract 18 on both side, we get;

$\Rightarrow 18 - 4 n - 18 = 62 - 18$ $=>18-4n-18=62-18$
$\Rightarrow - 4 n = 44$ $=>-4n=44$

Divide each side by -4, we get;

$\Rightarrow \frac{- 4 n}{- 4} = \frac{44}{- 4}$ $=>{-4n}/{-4}=44/{-4}$

Cancel out the common factors, we get;

$\Rightarrow n = - 11$ $=>n=-11$

Thanks
