Since the left side is equal to the right side it has infinitely many solutions. This means all real numbers would be a solution

If we multiply this out, we get the equation to be this:
5n-10=5n-10
5n=5n
n=n
This is a true statement, so there are infinite answers. Since whatever n is, the other side will be the same, it is an equation with infinite solutions.
