Question

Help please me figure this out. I don’t mean to be high maintenance but could you show me the steps on how you get the answer??

Answer 1

Answer: Second Option: "No Solutions"

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this, first divide both sides of the equation by 2:

2(x - 3) = 2x

2(x-3) ÷ 2 = 2x ÷ 2

(Calculate the quotient)

2(x-3) ÷ 2 = 2x ÷ 2

x - 3 = 2x ÷ 2

x - 3 = 2x ÷ 2

x - 3 = x

Lastly, cancel equal terms on both sides of the equation:

x - 3 = x

-3 = 0

This statement is false (aka there are no solutions)
