Question 255773: 2n+12n=2(n+12)

and

3(4x-2)=12x

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
2n+12n=2(n+12)
step 1-distribute to get
2n + 12 = 2n + 24
step 2 - subtract 2n to get
12 = 24. Since this is never true, we say "no solution"
--
3(4x-2)=12x
step 1 - distribute to get
12x - 6 = 12x
step 2 - subtract 12x to get
-6 = 0.
Since this is never true we say, "no solution"
