96\times 3=32\left(n-4\right)+3\times 2
Variable n cannot be equal to 0 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by 96n^{2}, the least common multiple of n^{2},3n^{2},32n^{2}.
288=32\left(n-4\right)+3\times 2
Multiply 96 and 3 to get 288.
288=32n-128+3\times 2
Use the distributive property to multiply 32 by n-4.
288=32n-128+6
Multiply 3 and 2 to get 6.
288=32n-122
Add -128 and 6 to get -122.
32n-122=288
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
32n=288+122
Add 122 to both sides.
32n=410
Add 288 and 122 to get 410.
n=\frac{410}{32}
Divide both sides by 32.
n=\frac{205}{16}
Reduce the fraction \frac{410}{32} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 2.
