Answer: No solution (hope that’s an option)
Explanation:
1.) distribute: multiply 5 by the numbers in parentheses and -3 by the numbers in parentheses and 2 by the numbers in parentheses.
5x-20-3x-6 = 2x-16
2.) add like terms: add the X’s and the constants together.
2x-26 = 2x-16
3.) get X’s on one side, constants on the other:
2x - 2x. Is 0.
0x-26 = -16. Plus 26 to -16.
0 = =10.
Therefore you have no solution (unless that’s not an option??)
