Question

PLEASE help me i really apreacatie if you show your work both in numbers and a sentence since i dont know how to explaning tysm once agin bless your heart

Answer 1

No solution

Explanation:

collect like terms,

8x = 2(4x - 5) -2

Then distribute to throughout the parentheses,

8x = 8x - 10 - 2

Cancel equal terms on both sides of the equation,

0 = -10 - 2

Calculate the difference,

0 = -12

This statement is false because zero does equivalate to -12.

Answer 2

No Solution

Explanation:

OK first just remember PEMDAS which stands for

Parentheses Exponents Multiplication Division Addition Subtraction

so we do these things in order from left to right.

first i see some parentheses so lets take care of that, pay attention to this part

2(4x - 5)

lets do some distribution, we multiply the numbers in the parentheses by the number thats right outside of the parentheses

this becomes

8x-10

so now we have...

`5x+3x=8x-10-2`

it is pretty easy from this point on

just add like terms. 5x plus 3x equals 8x. -10 - 2 equals -12.

`8x=8x-12`

now we have to do opposite calculations on both sides. for example, lets take the 8x to the right of the equal sign, and subtract 8x from both sides.

`0=-12`

is this true? does this make sense? NO! so the answer is No Solution.
