Answer

$n=-4$.

Work Step by Step

The given equation is $\Rightarrow 3n-3=4n+1$ Subtract $1$ from each side. $\Rightarrow 3n-3-1=4n+1-1$ Simplify. $\Rightarrow 3n-4=4n$ Subtract $3n$ from each side. $\Rightarrow 3n-4-3n=4n-3n$ Simplify. $\Rightarrow -4=n$ Check:- $\Rightarrow 3(-4)-3=4(-4)+1$ $\Rightarrow -12-3=-16+1$ $\Rightarrow -15=-15$ True. Hence, the solution is $n=-4$.
