To solve the absolute value equation, we try and simplify the equation first:
`-3|6n-2|+5=8` move 5 to other side
`-3|6n-2|=3` divide both sides by -3
`|6n-2|=-1` factor 2 from left side
`2|3n-1|=-1`
Unfortunately, since the left side of this equation is always positive and the right side of the equation is always negative, we see that the equation has no solution.
