[tex]\tt Step-by-step~explanation:[/tex]
To solve for n, we have to isolate n. To do so, we move all the terms that are not n to one side of the equation, and leave n on the other side.
[tex]\tt Steps:[/tex]
Equation: n + 5/16 = -1
Subtract 5/16 on both sides to bring it to the right side of the equation.
[tex]\tt n+5/16-5/16=-1-5/16\\\\n=-\frac{21}{16}~or~-1\frac{5}{16}[/tex]
[tex]\Large\boxed{\tt Our~final~answer:~n=-\frac{21}{16}~or~-1\frac{5}{16} }[/tex]
