Question

How many solutions does 2x−6−3x=5x−(4x+2) have

Answer 1

One answer!

Explanation:

First you want to simplify the parentheses, and then equation itself:

2x - 6 - 3x = 5x - 4x - 2 -> -6 - x = x - 2

Then isolate the variable and non-variables to each side:

-6 - x = x - 2 -> -4 = 2x

Dividing by 2:

-2 = x

There is only one solution, x = -2
