• Order of Operations: BPEMDAS
• Equality Properties

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define equation

4 - 6n = 60 - 2n

Step 2: Solve for n

1. Add 6n to both sides:                              4 = 60 + 4n
2. Subtract 60 on both sides:                      -56 = 4n
3. Divide both sides by 4:                            -14 = n
4. Rewrite:                                                     n = -14

Step 3: Check

Plug in n into the original equation to verify it is a solution.

1. Substitute in n:                    4 - 6(-14) = 60 - 2(-14)
2. Multiply:                               4 + 84 = 60 + 28
3. Add:                                     88 = 88

Here we see that 88 does indeed equal 88.

∴ n = -14 is a solution of the equation.
