- You find what more than means+
- Replace the words with the numbers 18+4(N+1)=14
- You move the 18 to the other side and change operations 18+4(N+1)-18=14-18
This gives us 4(N+1)=-4
Next we have to undo the multiplication 4(N+1)
Divide both sides by 4
4*(N+1)/4=4/4
Resulting in N+1=-1
Get N by itself and we have to subtract 1 from each side
N+1-1=-1-1
N=2
