Answer:

0 = 0 means that there are infinite solutions.

Explanation:

Equation is -5(-4+2n)=-10(n-2)

1. Distribute the -5 and -10

20 -10n = -10n + 20

2. Subtract 20 from one side to the other to get only 1 variable on 1 side.

-10n = -10n

3. divide -10 to separate the variable from the constant.

n = n

This means there are infinite solutions.
