Hey there!

In order to solve this, all you need to do is cancel out terms until you have n on one side of the equal sign and everything else on the other side.

14n + q = rt – 4n (add 4n to both sides to combine 4n and 14n)
18n + q = rt (subtract q from both sides)
18n = rt – q (divide both sides by 18)
n = (rt – q) ÷ 18

Hope this helped you out! :-)
