n=16

move the 4 to the right hand side so you get
#n/4=4#
then multiply both sides by 4
so you get n=16

isolate n by moving all the other terms to the other side of the equation.

# n/4 - 4 + 4 = 0 + 4 # removes the -4

# n/4 = 4 # multiply both sides by 4

# n/4 xx 4 = 4 xx 4 # which gives

# n = 16#
