Question

Dose 4(x+1)= 3x+4 have a solution

Answer 1

x = 0

Explanation:

First, multiply 4 by x+1

4x + 4 = 3x + 4

Subtract 3x on both sides

x + 4 = 4

Subtract 4 from both sides

x =

this is x = 0, since x = nothing.

Answer 2

x=0

Explanation:

4(x+1)= 3x+4

Distribute

4x+4 = 3x+4

Subtract 3x from each side

4x-3x+4 =3x-3x+4

x+4 = 4

Subtract 4 from each side

x+4-4 = 4-4

x=0
