n = -40

Explanation:

Solve for n.
4n - 10 = 4.4n + 6

Subtract 4n from both sides.
4n - 10 - 4n = 4.4n + 6 - 4n

10 = 0.4n + 6

Subtract 6 from both sides.
-10 - 6 = 0.4n + 6 - 6

-16 = 0.4n

Dvide both sides by 0.4.
-16 / 0.4 = (0.4 / 0.4)n

-40 = n

Substitute -40 into the equation and its sides with be equal.
