Question

*HELP ME PLEASE* Consider the equation: 3x + 1 – 9 = 3(x + 2) + n.

Answer 1

Answer:

n  = -14

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us try to solve this equation for n;

     3x + 1 - 9  = 3(x + 2)  + n

     3x  - 8  = 3x + 6 + n

      3x - 3x -8 - 6  = n

              -14  = n

The value of n  = -14

This value is the value of the equation that will have no solution.

 To know if we are correct, let us input this value into the expression

        3x + 1 - 9  = 3(x + 2)  + n

        3x - 8  = 3x + 6 -14

 Collect like terms;

        3x - 3x  = 8 + 6 - 14

               0 = 0
