to solve this question, we need to simplify

step 1

write out the equation and collect like terms


\begin{gathered} n-(9)/(10)=-(109)/(10) \\ n=-(109)/(10)+(9)/(10) \end{gathered}

step 2

take the LCM and solve the fraction

the LCM here is 10


\begin{gathered} n=-(109)/(10)+(9)/(10) \\ n=(-109+9)/(10) \\ n=-(100)/(10) \\ n=-10 \end{gathered}
