Answer:

n=19

Explanation:

To solve, we need to get n by itself.

First, move all the numbers to one side of the equation

4-n=-15

Subtract 4 from both sides

4-4-n= -15-4

-n=-19

Now all the numbers are on one side, and the variables are on the other. n is still not by itself, or is being multiplied by -1. To undo this, divide both sides by -1.

-n/-1=-19/-1

n=19
