Answer:
1. x = -5
2. x = 5
3.

4. No solution
Explanation:
Let's solve the unknown (x) for each equation:
1) 2(x + 3) = x + 1
Expand the equation:
2x + 6 = x + 1
Subtract x from both sides:
2x - x + 6 = x - x + 1
Simplify:
x + 6 = 1
Subtract 6 from both sides:
x + 6 - 6 = 1 - 6
Simplify: x = -5
So, the solution for the 2(x + 3) = x + 1 is x = -5.

2) 3(x - 3) = 2(x - 2)
Expand the equation:
3x - 9 = 2x - 4
Subtract 2x from both sides:
3x - 2x - 9 = 2x - 2x - 4
Simplify:
x - 9 = -4
Add 9 to both sides:
x - 9 + 9 = -4 + 9
Simplify:
x = 5
So, the solution for the 3(x - 3) = 2(x - 2) is x = 5.


Subtract
from both sides:

Find the common denominator (12):


Simplify:

So, the solution for the
is


4) 10x + 5(x + 5)
Distribute 5: 10x + 5x + 25
Combine like terms: 15x + 25
So, the fourth equation is already simplified and does not have a single solution for x. It represents the expression 15x + 25.
Exceptional:
4) If the equation is:
10x = 5(x + 5)
Distribute the 5 on the right side of the equation:
10x = 5x + 25
Subtract 5x from both sides to isolate the x term on the left side:
10x - 5x = 5x - 5x + 25
Simplify the equation:
5x = 25
divide both sides by 5 to solve for x:

simplify the result:
x = 5
So, the solution for the equation 10x = 5(x + 5) is x = 5.
