3 + 1n = (-2 + 1.6n)

Solving
3 + 1n = -2 + 1.6n

Solving for variable 'n'.

Move all terms containing n to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-1.6n' to each side of the equation.
3 + 1n + -1.6n = -2 + 1.6n + -1.6n

Combine like terms: 1n + -1.6n = -0.6n
3 + -0.6n = -2 + 1.6n + -1.6n

Combine like terms: 1.6n + -1.6n = 0.0
3 + -0.6n = -2 + 0.0
3 + -0.6n = -2

Add '-3' to each side of the equation.
3 + -3 + -0.6n = -2 + -3

Combine like terms: 3 + -3 = 0
0 + -0.6n = -2 + -3
-0.6n = -2 + -3

Combine like terms: -2 + -3 = -5
-0.6n = -5

Divide each side by '-0.6'.
n = 8.333333333

Simplifying
n = 8.333333333
