Add 52 to both sides

-52+52-n = 25+52

-n = 77

N = - 77

We need to isolate n.


-52 - n = 25

Add 52 to both sides.

-n = 77

Divide both sides by -1.

n = -77


To check if this is right, plug it in.


-52 - (-77) = 25

Flip the sign because to addition because it is a double negative.

-52 + 77 = 25

Simplify.

25 = 25


It is true, so n = -77.
