Question

Question 3 of 7 Paloma used these steps to solve the equation 6x+5=3(2x+1). Which choice describes the meaning of her result, 2=0?

Answer 1

6x + 5 = 3(2x + 1)

Distributive property.

6x + 5 = 6x + 3

Cancel like terms.

5 = 3

Subtract 3 from both sides.

2 ≠ 0

The equation is false and has no solutions.

This means that these two lines never cross, and thus there is no common solution.

Answer 2

No values of X make the equation true.
