-nx+n+4=-x^{2}
Subtract x^{2} from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.
-nx+n=-x^{2}-4
Subtract 4 from both sides.
\left(-x+1\right)n=-x^{2}-4
Combine all terms containing n.
\left(1-x\right)n=-x^{2}-4
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{\left(1-x\right)n}{1-x}=\frac{-x^{2}-4}{1-x}
Divide both sides by -x+1.
n=\frac{-x^{2}-4}{1-x}
Dividing by -x+1 undoes the multiplication by -x+1.
n=-\frac{x^{2}+4}{1-x}
Divide -x^{2}-4 by -x+1.
