Question

2+7x=4x+3+3x-8 I can't figure this out either :')

Answer 1

Ф

Explanation:

2 + 7x = 4x + 3 + 3x - 8

Collect like terms

4x, 3x

2+7x = 7x + 3 - 8

Calculate the difference of 3 - 8

2 = 7x = 7x - 5

Cancel the terms on both sides 7x, 7x

2 = -5

This statement is false for any value of x. There for it is not solvable.

Answer 2

Answer = no solution

Step-by-step explanation

Step 1: Add all the like-terms together

1. 2 + 7x = 7x - 5

Step 2: Subtract 7x from both sides

2. 2 + 7x - 7x = -5 → 2 ≠ -5

Because all the variables were canceled with a resulting false statement, there is no solution to this system.

Hope this helps :)
