Question

3(x-2)+7=1/2(6x-2)

please answer for me. don't try to make it for points. also tell me the steps please

Answer 1

First expand both sides of the equation via distributive property.

3x-6+7=3x-1

Combine like terms

3x+1=3x-1

Add 1 to both side to cancel out the "1" on the right

3x+2=3x

Subtract 3x from both sides

3x+2-3x=3x-3x

2=0

Does 2 equal zero? No. Therefore, the answer doesn't exist.
