Question

4(3x + 2) =16x + 7 -4x + 1

Answer 1

All real numbers are solutions.

Explanation:

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

4(3x+2)=16x+7−4x+1

(4)(3x)+(4)(2)=16x+7+−4x+1(Distribute)

12x+8=16x+7+−4x+1

12x+8=(16x+−4x)+(7+1)(Combine Like Terms)

12x+8=12x+8

12x+8=12x+8

Step 2: Subtract 12x from both sides.

12x+8−12x=12x+8−12x

8=8

Step 3: Subtract 8 from both sides.

8−8=8−8

0=0
