Question 828850: -18(8n-3)=18(-8n+3
How do you do this problem I really confused please help

Answer by algebrahouse.com(1659) About Me  (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!
-18(8n - 3) = 18(-8n + 3)
-144n + 54 = -144n + 54 {used distributive property}
0 = 0 {subtracted 54 and added 144n to each side}

= infinite solutions
- when the variable disappears, and you are left with a true statement,
there are infinite solutions, which means the any value for n satisfies the equation
