1. **State the problem:** Solve the equation $3(14n+3) - 2(21n + 4) = 1$ for $n$.
2. **Apply the distributive property:** Multiply inside the parentheses:
$$3 \times 14n + 3 \times 3 - 2 \times 21n - 2 \times 4 = 1$$
which simplifies to
$$42n + 9 - 42n - 8 = 1$$
3. **Combine like terms:** Notice $42n - 42n = 0$, so the equation reduces to
$$9 - 8 = 1$$
which simplifies to
$$1 = 1$$
4. **Interpret the result:** Since the equation simplifies to a true statement independent of $n$, this means the original equation is true for all values of $n$.
**Final answer:** The equation holds for all real numbers $n$; that is, the solution is all real $n$.
