This equation can be rearranged to give:

#g = 24 - 4n#

or

#n = 6 - g/4#

First divide both sides of the equation by #5# to get:

[1] #24 = g + 4n#

Then subtract #4n# from both sides to get:

#g = 24 - 4n#

Starting from equation [1], subtract #g# from both sides to get:

#4n = 24 - g#

Divide both sides by #4# to get:

#n = 6 - g/4#
