Here's the step-by-step solution to the equation n - 3 = 4n:
-
Combine like terms on one side: Subtract 'n' from both sides of the equation: n - 3 - n = 4n - n This simplifies to: -3 = 3n
-
Isolate the variable 'n': Divide both sides of the equation by 3: -3 / 3 = 3n / 3 This simplifies to: -1 = n
Therefore, the solution to the equation n - 3 = 4n is n = -1.
Here the maximum index of the variable n is 1.
So it is not a quadratic equation.
