Answer:

The error is the solution.

The solution is all real numbers, or infinite amount of solutions.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Write equation

-4(2n - 3) = 12 - 8n

Step 2: Solve for n

Distribute -4: -8n + 12 = 12 - 8n
Subtract 12 on both sides: -8n = -8n
Add 8n to both sides: 0 = 0

Here we see that n can equal any number. If you plug in any number n, it will render the equation true. Therefore, our solution is n = infinite amount of solutions.

n = 0 is only slightly correct. 0 does work as the solution, but there are solutions as well.

Snezhnost [94]

Answer:

William will make 12 bags of food and each of the bag will contains 2 cans of fruit and 5 cans of vegetables.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Number of fruits cans = 24

Number of veggies cans = 60

William will have to distribute them in equal bags with equal cans of fruits and vegetables respectively.

For this:

We have to find the GCF (greatest common factor) of 24 and 60.

GCF by listing out the factors method.

Factors of 24 : $1,2,3,4,6,8,12,24$

Factors of 60 : $1,2,3,4,5,6,10,12,15,20,30,60$

So,

The greatest common factor of $24$ and $60$ is $12$ .

The number of bags William will used for equal distribution = $12$

Now,

We have to distribute the veggies and fruits in equal number of cans to these $12$ bags.

Number of fruits cans used in each bag = $\frac{24}{12} = 2$

Number of vegetables can used in each bag = $\frac{60}{12} =5$

We can say that:

William will make 12 bags of food and each of the bag will contains 2 cans of fruit and 5 cans of vegetables.
