3n=3+5n\left(-\frac{1}{5}\right)
Variable n cannot be equal to 0 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by 5n, the least common multiple of 5,5n.
3n=3-n
Multiply 5 and -\frac{1}{5} to get -1.
3n+n=3
Add n to both sides.
4n=3
Combine 3n and n to get 4n.
n=\frac{3}{4}
Divide both sides by 4.
