Answer: infinite solution
Explanation:
-2 (n - 12) + 1 = -2n + 5
(remove the parentheses by distributing -2 throughout parentheses)
-2n + 24 + 1 = -2n + 25
(cancel equal terms on both sides of the equation)
24 + 1 = 25
(add the numbers)
25 = 25
(the statement is true, so the answer is infinite solution)
