#n = 16#

Step 1) Subtract 11 from each side of the equation to start to isolate and solve for #n# while keeping the equation balanced:

#n/4 + 11 - 11 = 15 - 11#

#n/4 + 0 = 4#

#n/4 = 4#

Step 2) Multiply each side by 4 to solve for #n# while keeping the equation balanced:

#4 * (n/4) = 4 * 4#

#1n = 16#

#n = 16#
