Answer:
The second step is subtracting 986 from both sides
Explanation:
The reason is because you want to isolate the variable. You can't solve it if there are numbers along with the variable in an equation.
I will let you decide what counts as a second step, I'm going to write out all the steps.
starting from original equation
49n+986=-43
49n=-1029
n=-21
