Question

What is x?
1/3(6x+21)-4=2x+15

Answer 1

no solution

Explanation:

You want the solution to the equation 1/3(6x+21)-4=2x+15.

Solution

Simplifying the equation gives ...

1/3(6x +21) -4 = 2x +15

2x +7 -4 = 2x +15

Subtract (2x+3) from both sides:

(2x +3) -(2x +3) = (2x +15) -(2x +3)

0 = 12 . . . . . . simplify

There is no value of x that will make this true. The equation has no solution.
