Answer:

first problem) he messed up at 4(1 + 5n), only multiplying the 1 by 4, instead of both the 1 and 5n,

work-

-8n + 4(1 + 5n) = -6n - 14

-8n + 4 + 20n = -6n -14

12n + 4 = -6n - 14

18n +4 = -14

18n = -18

n= -1

second problem) he messed up towards the end, where he put 3x = 3x, then x=0. in this case, x would equal x, so the answer is "infinitely many solutions"

all the other work is correct in that problem

third problem) on the right side of the equation, ( 4x+10+3x-6), when they were adding the like numbers, instead of subtracting 6 from 10, they added 6, giving them 16 instead of 4

correct work-

2x - 8 + 3x +2 = 4x +10 + 3x -6

5x - 6 = 7x + 4

-5x -5x

-6 = 2x +4

-4 -4

-10 = 2x

-5 = x

hope i helped :)
