Hey there! :)

1/2(n - 1) - 3 = 3 - (2n + 3)

Simplify.

1/2n - 1/2 - 3 = 3 - 2n - 3

Add like terms.

1/2n - 3 1/2 = -2n

Add 3 1/2 to both sides.

1/2n = -2n + 3 1/2

Then, add 2n to both sides.

1/2n + 2n = 3 1/2

Simplify!

2 1/2n = 3 1/2

Make everything into improper fractions!

5/2n = 7/2

Multiply everything by 2 to get rid of the denominators.

5/2n × 2 = 7/2 × 2

Simplify!

5n = 7

Divide both sides by 5.

n = 7/5

Hope this helped! :)
