Question

What is the solution to -41-2x + 61 = -24?

x = 0
x = 0 or x = -6
x = 0 or x = 6
no solution

Answer 1

No solution

Explanation:

Anyone of the values of x satisfies the equation. We can see it even calculating with basic math. If x is 0, then -41 -2(0) + 61 = -24

-41 +61 =-24

20 = -24 is incorrect

If x is -6, then -41 -2(-6) =-24

-41+12=-24

-29 = -24 incorrect.

If x is 6, then -41-2(6) + 61 = -24

-41-12+61 = -24

-53 + 61 = -24

8 = -24 is incorrect.

So it has no solution.
