Answer:
a. x=8
b.Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.
2(2x−2)=4x−4
(2)(2x)+(2)(−2)=4x+−4(Distribute)
4x+−4=4x+−4
4x−4=4x−4
Step 2: Subtract 4x from both sides.
4x−4−4x=4x−4−4x
−4=−4
Step 3: Add 4 to both sides.
−4+4=−4+4
0=0
Answer:
All real numbers are solutions.
c. Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.
3(x+1)=4x+7−x
(3)(x)+(3)(1)=4x+7+−x(Distribute)
3x+3=4x+7+−x
3x+3=(4x+−x)+(7)(Combine Like Terms)
3x+3=3x+7
3x+3=3x+7
Step 2: Subtract 3x from both sides.
3x+3−3x=3x+7−3x
3=7
Step 3: Subtract 3 from both sides.
3−3=7−3
0=4
