Question

Solve for X if possible. 4x-2+x = 2x+8+3x​

Answer 1

No solution/ Not possible

Explanation:

Let's write out the equation

4x-2+x= 2x+8+3x

First thing we should do is look and see if there are any like terms that we can combine

4x+x-2=2x+3x+8

5x-2=5x+8

Then we want to get x on one side

By adding 2 to both sides

5x=5x+10

0=10

This is false, so the answer to this is No solution

Answer 2

There is no solution because when you simplify the common variables you get 5x-2=5x+8 and when you start goin on with the equation the two 5x’s cancel each other out which leaves -2=8 which is not true
