Answer:

This is a very classical type of equation in which, the solution is basically any number and it is known as an "Identity". So it has infinite solutions

Step-by-step explanation:

Apply the distributive law to both sides of the equation:

-6(n-8) = 4(12-5n)+14n

-6n-6*(-8) = 4*12+4*(-5n) + 14n

Reduce similar terms

-6n+48=48-20n+14n

-6n+48=48-6n

From here it is clear them to see that by adding -48 and 6n to both sides one obtains the identity 0 = 0

-6n+48=48-6n

-6n +6n + 48 -48 = 48 -48 - 6n + 6n

0 = 0

So every time you find this kind of problem and after reducen the equation you end up with a true statement, then the equation has infinite solutions

Answer:

infinite solutions

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

- 6(n - 8) = 4(12 - 5n) + 14n ← distribute parenthesis on both sides

- 6n + 48 = 48 - 20n + 14n, that is

- 6n + 48 = 48 - 6n ( add 6n to both sides )

48 = 48 ← True

This indicates that the equation is true for any value of n

which statement correctly compares two values? a)the value of the 7 in 37.596 is 1/10 the value of the7 in 26.74 b) the value of

Andrews [41]

The value of 7 in 26..74 is 0.7

The value of 7 in 37.596 is 7.

1/10 the value of 7 in 26.74 is 0.07 and 0.07 ≠ 7.

So, statement a) is incorrect.

1/100 the value of 7 in 26.74 is 0.007 and 0.007 ≠ 7.

So, statement c) is incorrect.

100 times the value of 7 in 26.74 is 70 and 70 ≠ 7.

So, statement d) is incorrect.

10 times the value of 7 in 26.74 is 7 and 7 = 7.

So, statement b) is correct and it correctly compares two values.
