Solve for n:
-6-4 n = 10
Add 6 to both sides:
(6-6)-4 n = 10+6
6-6 = 0:
-4 n = 10+6
10+6 = 16:
-4 n = 16
Divide both sides of -4 n = 16 by -4:
(-4 n)/(-4) = 16/(-4)
(-4)/(-4) = 1:
n = 16/(-4)
The gcd of 16 and -4 is 4, so 16/(-4) = (4×4)/(4 (-1)) = 4/4×4/(-1) = 4/(-1):
n = 4/(-1)
Multiply numerator and denominator of 4/(-1) by -1:
Answer: | n = -4
