Question

Find the solution of the equation. 2(2x + 3) = -4 + 2(2x + 5)

Answer 1

2(2x + 3) = -4 + 2(2x + 5)
Divide both sides by 2
2x + 3 = -2 + (2x + 5)
Add 2 to both sides
2x + 3 + 2 = 2x + 5
2x + 5 = 2x + 5
Subtract 5 from both sides
2x = 2x
Divide both sides by 2
x = x

This means x can equal anything I believe.

Answer 2

x = 2/3

Explanation:

4x + 6 = 10x + 10

4x = 10x - 4

6x - 4

x = 2/3
