∑ Hey, claudiavg2000 ⊃

Answer:

No solutions.

Explanation:

Given:

-2(x-2)-4x=3(x-1)-9x​

Solve:

-2 ( x - 2 ) - 4x : -6x + 4

3(x - 1) - 9x : -6x - 3

Now we have;

-6x + 4 = -6x - 3

Subtract 4 from both sides:

-6x + 4 - 4 = -6x - 3 - 4

-6x = -6x -7

Add 6x to both sides:

-6x + 6x = -6x - 7 + 6x

Simplifying:

0 = -7

As you can see the sides are not equal.

Hence, This problem has no solution.
