Question

True or False: Both equations have 'no solutions'.
15x +4-2x = 3(6x + 5)
(2x-8)=(8x+36)

Answer 1

false

Explanation:

They both have solutions

Answer 2

False

Explanation:

They both have 1 solution

15x + 4 = 3(6x +5)

15x +4 = 18x + 15 Multiple everything in the parentheses by 3.

4 = 3x + 15 Subtract 15 x from both sides

-11 = 3x Subtract 15 from both sides

-11/3 = x Divide both sides by 3

There is only one solution for this equation.

2x -8 = 8x + 36

-8 = 6x + 36 Subtract 2x from both sides

--44 = 6x Subtract 36 from both sides

-44/6 = x Divide both sides by 6.

There is only one solution for this equation.
