7n-6%2Bn=2%284n-3%29 Start with the given equation.


7n-6%2Bn=8n-6 Distribute.


8n-6=8n-6 Combine like terms on the left side.


8n=8n-6%2B6 Add 6 to both sides.


8n-8n=-6%2B6 Subtract 8n from both sides.


0n=-6%2B6 Combine like terms on the left side.


0n=0 Combine like terms on the right side.


0=0 Simplify.


Since this equation is ALWAYS true for any n value, this means n can equal any number.


So there are an infinite number of solutions.
