5\times 2=4\left(n+3\right)
Multiply both sides by 2.
10=4\left(n+3\right)
Multiply 5 and 2 to get 10.
10=4n+12

4n+12=10
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
4n=10-12
Subtract 12 from both sides.
4n=-2

n=\frac{-2}{4}
Divide both sides by 4.
n=-\frac{1}{2}
Reduce the fraction \frac{-2}{4} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 2.
