-3n+5=-3n+13
Show work

Answer 1

You said . . . . . -3n + 5 = -3n + 13

Add 3n to each side: 5 = 13

There's no possible number that 'n' can be that would make 5 = 13 .

So the original equation has no solution.

Answer 2

no solution

Explanation:

-3n + 5 = -3n +13

Isolate n

subtract 5 on both sides.

-3n = -3n+7

add 3n to both sides

they cancel each other out

0= 7

no solution
