Answer:

There is one solution

Explanation:

You can tell by looking at it that 2x and 3x are different. Both are obtained once the brackets have been removed. So you will get just one answer.

2(x -1) = 3(x - 4) Remove the brackets.

2x - 2 = 3x - 12 Subtract 2x from both sides.

2x - 2x - 2 = 3x - 2x - 12 Combine

-2 = x -12 Add 12 to both sides.

-2 + 12 = x -12 +12 Combine

10 = x
