Solution for 3n-2=15+3n equation:

Simplifying

3n + -2 = 15 + 3n

Reorder the terms:

-2 + 3n = 15 + 3n

Add '-3n' to each side of the equation.

-2 + 3n + -3n = 15 + 3n + -3n

Combine like terms: 3n + -3n = 0

-2 + 0 = 15 + 3n + -3n

-2 = 15 + 3n + -3n

Combine like terms: 3n + -3n = 0

-2 = 15 + 0

-2 = 15

Solving

-2 = 15

Couldn't find a variable to solve for.
