Answer:

Solving the expression
(3)/(4)n=-1(3)/(4)n-18 we get
\mathbf{n=-(36)/(5) }

Explanation:

We need to solve the expression:
(3)/(4)n=-1(3)/(4)n-18

Solving:


(3)/(4)n=-1(3)/(4)n-18

First we convert mixed fraction into improper fraction


(3)/(4)n=-(7)/(4)n-18

Now adding 7/4 n on both sides


(3)/(4)n+(7)/(4)n=-(7)/(4)n-18+(7)/(4)n\\(3)/(4)n+(7)/(4)n=-18

Now, taking LCM on left side

LCM of 4 and 4 is 4


(3)/(4)n+(7)/(4)n=-18\\(3*1n+7*1n)/(4)=-18\\(3n+7n)/(4)=-18\\(10n)/(4)=-18

Now, multiply both sides by 4/10


(10n)/(4)* (4)/(10) =-18* (4)/(10)\\n=-(36)/(5)

So, solving the expression
(3)/(4)n=-1(3)/(4)n-18 we get
\mathbf{n=-(36)/(5) }
