Question

Solve the equation for x.
2(x+5)+5=6x-4(-5+x)

Answer 1

No solution.

Explanation:

Simplify the equation.

2(x + 5) + 5 = 6x - 4(-5 + x) {Use distributive property}

2*x + 2*5 + 5 = 6x - 4*(-5) + (-4) * x

2x + 10 + 5 = 6x + 20 - 4x

2x + 10 + 5 = 6x - 4x + 20 {Combine like terms}

2x + 15 = 2x + 20

This equation has no solution.
