, Given.

3n-6+n=2(2n-6)
, Combined like-terms on the left member
, Distributive Property
, Using just one step, added 6 to both members
NO SOLUTION!
If you try to isolate terms of n on either side, you cannot. This equation has no solution. The equation is false!
'
Subtracting 4n from both sides will be of no help, because you would obtain , a false statement.
