3/4n - 18 = 1/4n - 14

We need to isolate "n"

So, add 18 to both sides.

3/4n = 1/4n - 14 - 18

Then, subtract 1/4n from both sides.

3/4n - 1/4n = -14 - 18

*Note : Since "n" has the same denominator (bottom number in a fraction), then we simply need to look at the top numbers (numerators) and simplify those.

Simplify.

2/4n = -32

Then, multiply both sides by 4 so that we get rid of fractions.

4 · 2/4n = -32 · 4

Simplify.

2n = -128

Now, divide both sides by 2.

2 ÷ 2n = -128 ÷ 2

Simplify.

n = -64

~Hope I helped!~
