    1 - n = n - 1

    Solve for n in the equation 1 - n = n - 1

    Step 1: Group variables:
    We need to group our variables -n and n. To do that, we subtract n from both sides
    -n + 1 - n = n - 1 - n

    Step 2: Cancel n on the right side:
    -2n + 1 = -1

    Step 3: Group constants:
    We need to group our constants 1 and -1. To do that, we subtract 1 from both sides
    -2n + 1 - 1 = -1 - 1

    Step 4: Cancel 1 on the left side:
    -2n = -2

    Step 5: Divide each side of the equation by -2
    -2n/-2 = -2/-2

    n = 1
