See explanation given.

Explanation:

The objective when solving two-step or one-step equations is to isolate the variable. 16 = 4n is a one-step equation. One operation is required to solve. Since 4n means 4*n , you can "undo" this by dividing by the coefficient. Just remember: what you do to one side of the equals sign, you must do to the other side of the equals sign.

16=4n

16/4=(4n)/4

4=n or n=4
