Answer:

Infinitely many solutions.

Step-by-step explanation:

2 (n - 1) + 4n = 2 (3n - 1) Let's simplify this to solve it.

2n - 2 + 4n = 6n - 2 Distribute 2(n-1) and 2(3n-1)

2n + 4n - 2 = 6n - 2 Rearrange the left side of the equation.

6n - 2 = 6n - 2 Add 2n + 4n.

-6n -6n Subtract 6n from both sides.

-2 = -2

the answer is infinitely many solutions, meaning that n can be any real number.
