N = -3 oxidation state

H = +1 oxidation state

If you are trying to find the "n" in NH4+

N would be your x because you don't know what it is

You would add it to -4 because you have to multiply 4 (number of atoms of hydrogen) by -1 (when the H is at the end it is negative) So therefore you have -4

Now you have x-4=1 (the i because of the plus at the end of ammonia (NH4))

You add 4 to both sides and now you have x=5
