Answer:

No solutions.

Explanation:

We have been given an equation
4n-9 =2 (5+2n). We are asked to find the solution of our given equation.

First of all, we will use distributive property on right side of equation as:


4n-9 =10+4n

We can see that both lines are parallel as both lines have same slope and different y-intercepts.

We also know that two parallel lines never intersect, therefore, there is no solution for the given equation.

We can also try to solve our equation as:


4n-4n-9 =10+4n-4n


-9=10

Since both sides of equation are not equal, so there is no solution for our given equation.
