Break this problem into two subproblems by setting 
(n + 1) equal to 3.872983346 and -3.872983346.

Subproblem 1
n + 1 = 3.872983346

Simplifying
n + 1 = 3.872983346

Reorder the terms:
1 + n = 3.872983346

Solving
1 + n = 3.872983346

Solving for variable 'n'.

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

Add '-1' to each side of the equation.
1 + -1 + n = 3.872983346 + -1

Combine like terms: 1 + -1 = 0
0 + n = 3.872983346 + -1
n = 3.872983346 + -1

Combine like terms: 3.872983346 + -1 = 2.872983346
n = 2.872983346

Simplifying
n = 2.872983346

Subproblem 2
n + 1 = -3.872983346

Simplifying
n + 1 = -3.872983346

Reorder the terms:
1 + n = -3.872983346

Solving
1 + n = -3.872983346

Solving for variable 'n'.

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

Add '-1' to each side of the equation.
1 + -1 + n = -3.872983346 + -1

Combine like terms: 1 + -1 = 0
0 + n = -3.872983346 + -1
n = -3.872983346 + -1

Combine like terms: -3.872983346 + -1 = -4.872983346
n = -4.872983346
