You have solved correctly.
Any value of n works. There is no unique solution.

3n-6%2Bn=2%282n-6%29, Given.

3n-6+n=2(2n-6)
4n-6=2%282n-6%29, Combined like-terms on the left member
4n-6=4n-12, Distributive Property
4n=4n-6, 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 0=-6, a false statement.

Your solution is INCORRECT!! Try solving it again!!
Anyway, there is NO SOLUTION since highlight_green%28-+6+%3C%3E+-+12%29
You can do the check!!
If you need a complete and detailed solution, let me know!!
