| ( | 94 | + | 84 | n | ) | ÷ | ( | n | + | 1 | ) | = | 86 |
| Multiply both sides of the equation by: | ( | n | + | 1 | ) |
| ( | 94 | + | 84 | n | ) | = | 86 | ( | n | + | 1 | ) |
| 94 | + | 84 | n | = | 86 | ( | n | + | 1 | ) |
| 94 | + | 84 | n | = | 86 | n | + | 86 | × | 1 |
| 94 | + | 84 | n | = | 86 | n | + | 86 |
| 84 | n | − | 86 | n | = | 86 | − | 94 |
| - | 2 | n | = | 86 | − | 94 |
| - | 2 | n | = | - | 8 |
| 8 | = | 2 | n |
| 2 | n | = | 8 |
| n | = | 8 | ÷ | 2 |
| = | 8 | × | 1 2 |
| = | 4 | × | 1 |
| n | = | 4 |
