Question

What is the value of x that makes the equation true? Show your work on your paper and explain how you know your answer is correct. 3(4x−2)−5x=6−7(−x−2)

Answer 1

0=26

Step-by-step explanation:

3(4x - 2) - 5x = 6 - 7(-x-2)

expand 3(4x - 2) -5x: 7x -6

expand again 6 -7(-x-2): 7x + 20

Add 6 to both sides 7x - 6 + 6 = 7x + 20 + 6

Simplify 7x = 7x + 26

Subtract 7x from both sides 7x - 7x = 7x + 26 - 7x

Simplify 0 = 26

The sides are not equal so there is no solution
