Question

35. Solve the equation and check your solution: -2(x + 2) = 5 - 2x

Answer 1

Answer:this equation is not right.so,it does not have any solutions

Explanation:

because if we try to solve it we get,

-2x-4=5-2x

-4-5=-2x+2x

-9=0

so,this equation is not right.

Answer 2

equation has no solution

Explanation:

- 2(x + 2) = 5 - 2x ← distribute parenthesis on left side

- 2x - 4 = 5 - 2x ( add 4 to both sides )

- 2x = 9 - 2x ( add 2x to both sides )

0 = 9 ← false statement

this false statement indicates the equation has no solution
