Answer:

infinitely many solutions

Explanation:

-2(n-12)+1=-2n+25 Distribute.

-2n+24+1=-2n+25 Combine like terms on each side of the equation.

-2n+25=-2n+25 Add 2n on both sides of the equation.

+2n +2n

25=25

This statement is true, so there are infinitely many solutions.

I hope this helps...have an awesome day (~*▽*)~
