Question

Solve this equation: -3(x-14)+9x=6x+42

A. Solving this equation results in the statement 6=0 because this is a false statement the equation has infinitely many solutions
B. Solving this equation results in the statement 0=0 because this is a true statement the equation has infinitely many solutions

Answer 1

Explanation:

here you go mate

step 1

-3(x-14)+9x=6x+42 equation

step 2

-3(x-14)+9x=6x+42 simplify by distributing and combining terms

6x+42=6x+42

step 3

6x+42-6=6x+42-6 subtract -6 from both sides

42=42

step 4

42=42 subtract 42 from both sides

42-(42)=42-(42)

0=0

answer

all real numbers

Explanation:

Step 1: Define

-3(x - 14) + 9x = 6x + 42

Step 2: Solve for x

1. Distributive -3: -3x + 42 + 9x = 6x + 42
2. Combine like terms: 6x + 42 = 6x + 42
3. Isolate x terms: 6x = 6x
4. Isolate x: 0 = 0
