7\times 4=2\left(n+9\right)
Variable n cannot be equal to -9 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by 7\left(n+9\right), the least common multiple of n+9,7.
28=2\left(n+9\right)
Multiply 7 and 4 to get 28.
28=2n+18
Use the distributive property to multiply 2 by n+9.
2n+18=28
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
2n=28-18
Subtract 18 from both sides.
2n=10
Subtract 18 from 28 to get 10.
n=\frac{10}{2}
Divide both sides by 2.
n=5
Divide 10 by 2 to get 5.
