Solving equations with integers uses the same process
as the other algebra that you have studied.

1. Simplify the equation (if possible)
2. Use inverse operations to get the variable alone.
3. Check with substitution.
3n - 4 = -16
+4     +4
3n = -12
3n ÷ 3 = -12 ÷ 3
n = -4

3 * (-4) - 4 = -16
-12 - 4 = -16
-12 + -4 = -16
-16 = -16
