Answer:
n has no value.
There is no solution to this equation
Step-by-step explanation:
let n be the number
In pieces:
sum of the number and 1: (n + 1)
8 times the sum: 8(n + 1)
-7 times a number: -7n
sum of -7 times and...: -7n + 8(n + 1)
number minus 7: n - 7
the same as: =
All together:
-7n + 8(n + 1) = n - 7
-7n + 8(n+1)=n-7
-7n + 8n+8=n-7
0=-15
