Answer:

no solution

Explanation:

given

2(n + 2) = 4n + 1 - 2n ( distribute parenthesis on left side by 2 )

2n + 4 = 4n + 1 - 2n ( collect like terms on right side )

2n + 4 = 2n + 1 ( subtract 4 from both sides )

2n = 2n - 3 ( subtract 2n from both sides )

0 = - 3 ← not possible

this indicates the equation has no solution
