Generate an educational image to provide visual representation for a math problem. Highlight a simple equation on a blackboard: 8 + 3n = 20. The equation should be the central focus, drawn larger for emphasis. Show the subtraction process, symbolising the removal of eight from both sides. To signify the reasoning behind this step, sketch a small magnifying glass hovering over the equation. For a classroom ambience, add background elements as uncomplicated as a wooden desk with a pencil and eraser and maybe a window with a serene view, maintaining the focus on the equation.
