Given the expression below


-7(n-2)+2n=-5(n+6)

To find n

Open the brackets


\begin{gathered} -7(n-2)+2n=-5(n+6) \\ -7n+14+2n=-5n-30 \\ -7n+2n+14=-5n-30 \\ -5n+14=-5n-30 \end{gathered}

Collect like terms


\begin{gathered} -5n+14=-5n-30 \\ -5n-(-5n)=-30-14 \\ 0\\e-44 \end{gathered}

Since, the sides are not equal,

Hence, there is no solution
