Answer:

0 = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the below equation;


3n+15=3(n+5)

To solve this equation, the 1st step is to clear the parentheses;


3n+15=3n+15

The next step is to collect like terms, move all the terms in n to one side of the equation and the other terms to the other side;


\begin{gathered} 3n-3n=15-15 \\ 0=0 \end{gathered}

This equation will have infinitely many solutions.
