The sum of −7 times a number and 8 times the sum of the number and 1 is the same as the number minus 7.

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
