Answer:

n = (-∞,∞) or all real numbers

Explanation:

To solve distribute the 5,

5(n–2)=5n–10

5n - 10 = 5n - 10

add 10 to both side

5n = 5n

divide by 5

n=n

the equation is identical

you can say n solutions are all numbers from (-∞,∞)

Answer:

Anything

Explanation:

5n - 10 = 5n - 10

It doesn't matter what you put in for n, the equality can never be anything but an equality.

Suppose n = 10,000,000

Then 5*10,000,000 - 10 = 5*10,000,000
