The answer to this equation would be an infinite amount of solutions.

Explanation:

#n-15+7n-48=7(2n-9)-6n# Distribute
#n-15+7n-48=14n-63-6n# Combine like terms
#8n-63=8n-63# Add 63 to both sides
#8n=8n# Divide both sides by 8
#n=n#

Finally, the answer #n=n# means that there would be an infinite amount of solutions for the equation (in other words, the equation would always be true for any given value of #x#).
