Well, Does one seem to make more sense with one of the answers they have?

weaver · Answer

there is no answer choices

will.h · Answer

2n + 3 = 24 
At first we can isolate 2b by subtracting 3 from both sides
2n = 24 -3 
2n = 21 
Now divide both sides by 2
n= 21/2
n= 10.5 
I think there's error in the 1st solution

countryboyswag · Answer

I agree with Will, must be an error.

will.h · Answer

Am quite certain that the original equation indicates an error 
If you get to substitute 11 instead of x in the original equations the sides must be equal to each other if the solution was real so 
2n + 3 = 24 if we say x= 11
2 * 11 + 3 = 24
25= 24 
Not equal.  however in my solution they are 
2n + 3 = 24 when x= 10.5 
2 * 10.5 + 3  = 24
24 = 24
