To solve this, we can begin by rewriting the equation:

9n - 50 = 4

Let’s eliminate 50 on both sides of the equation to make this simpler:

9n - 50 + 50 = 4 + 50

9n = 54

Now, let’s divide both sides by the coefficient (9):

9n ÷ 9 = n

54 ÷ 9 = 6

n = 6

Let’s verify our answer by plugging 6 in for the variable:

9(6) - 50 = 4

54 - 50 = 4

Because this equation is true, we have our answer.

Hence, n = 6.

\huge\text{Hey there!}



\mathsf{9n - 50 = 4}


\large\text{Add 50 to both sides:}


\mathsf{9n - 50 + 50= 4 + 50}


\large\text{Simplify it:}


\mathsf{9n = 4 + 50}


\mathsf{9n = 54}


\large\text{Divide 9 to both sides:}


\mathsf{(9n)/(9) = (54)/(9)}


\large\text{Simplify it:}


\mathsf{n = (54)/(9)}


\mathsf{n = 6}



\huge\text{Therefore, your answer is: \boxed{\mathsf{n = 6}}}\huge\checkmark
