$\tt Step-by-step~explanation:$

To solve for n, we have to isolate n. To do so, we move all the terms that are not n to one side of the equation, and leave n on the other side.

$\tt Steps:$

Equation: n + 5/16 = -1

Subtract 5/16 on both sides to bring it to the right side of the equation.

$\tt n+5/16-5/16=-1-5/16\\\\n=-(21)/(16)~or~-1(5)/(16)$

$\Large\boxed{\tt Our~final~answer:~n=-(21)/(16)~or~-1(5)/(16) }$
