Question

Can someone Please help me solve and show how to get the answer I'm stumped
-n -24 = 5 - n

Answer 1

what happens if we were to add "n" to both sides?

Answer 2

We wouldn't have an n?

Answer 3

correct; we would be left with: -24=5 , which can never be true. therefore, there is NO solution to be found

Answer 4

:) almost a trick question. It is there to help you realize that math can have a senseless of a sentence as any other language.

If i say: apples are pears. that is a nonsense statement just as absurd as the problem you posted
