3\left(n+10\right)=7\left(10-n\right)
Variable n cannot be equal to -10 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by 7\left(n+10\right), the least common multiple of 7,10+n.
3n+30=7\left(10-n\right)
Use the distributive property to multiply 3 by n+10.
3n+30=70-7n
Use the distributive property to multiply 7 by 10-n.
3n+30+7n=70
Add 7n to both sides.
10n+30=70
Combine 3n and 7n to get 10n.
10n=70-30
Subtract 30 from both sides.
10n=40
Subtract 30 from 70 to get 40.
n=\frac{40}{10}
Divide both sides by 10.
n=4
Divide 40 by 10 to get 4.
