Answer

No solution.

Work Step by Step

The given equation is $\Rightarrow 3(n+4)= \frac{1}{2}(6n+4)$ Use distributive property. $\Rightarrow 3n+12= 3n+2$ Subtract $3n$ from each side. $\Rightarrow 3n+12-3n= 3n+2-3n$ Simplify. $\Rightarrow 12= 2$ The statement $12=2$ is never true. so, the equation has no solution.
