To solve the equation 3n + 14 = -4, we need to get the terms with n on one side and the terms without n on the other. To do this in this particular equation, we need to subtract 14 from each side.
3n + 14 = -4
3n + 14 - 14 = -4 - 14
Simplifying gives us:
3n = -18
Now we want to have a single n, so we can divide both sides by the number in front of n.
3/3n = -18/3
n = -18/3
