Solve for n:
3n%2B4+=+5%28n%2B2%29-2n Apply the distributive property to the right side.
3n%2B4+=+5n%2B10-2n Combine like-terms.
3n%2B4+=+3n%2B10 Subtract 3n from both sides.
4+=+10 Never true!
Solution is the null or empty set. In other words, there is no value of n that will satisfy this equation.
