Hello!

Let's solve:


(2)/(5)(15x+40)} =6x+10\\\\\\\text{Multiply the '2/5' into the function inside the parentheses}\\(2)/(5) *15x + (2)/(5) *40=6x+10\\\\6x + 16 =6x+10\\\\\\\text{Subtract '6x' from both sides}\\6x + 16-6x=6x+10-6x\\16 = 10

Since 16 doesn't equal 10 ==> There are no solution

Hope that helps!
