Reorder the terms:

Solving for variable 'n'.

Move all terms containing n to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-6n' to each side of the equation.
8 + 7n + -6n = 4 + 6n + -6n

Combine like terms:
7n + -6n = 1n 8 + 1n = 4 + 6n + -6n

Combine like terms:
6n + -6n = 0 8 + 1n = 4 + 0 8 + 1n = 4

Add '-8' to each side of the equation.
8 + -8 + 1n = 4 + -8

Combine like terms:
8 + -8 = 0 0 + 1n = 4 + -8 1n = 4 + -8

Combine like terms:
4 + -8 = -4 1n = -4

Divide each side by '1'.
n = -4

Simplifying

n = -4
