Answer:

Infinitely many solutions

Explanation:

Given the equation:


\displaystyle{-16+n+14n=-16+15n}

Which can be simplified (for left side) to:


\displaystyle{-16+15n=-16+15n}

Both sides are same, meaning that there are infinitely many solutions since no matter which n-values you substitute in, you'll end up getting true equation.
