Move all terms containing n to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-1' to each side of the equation.
1 + -1 + -1n = 0 + -1

Combine like terms: 1 + -1 = 0
0 + -1n = 0 + -1
-1n = 0 + -1

Combine like terms: 0 + -1 = -1
-1n = -1

Divide each side by '-1'.
n = 1

Simplifying
n = 1
Solution
n = {-5, 1}
