Question

Kamal solved an equation as shown below.

3(x-8)= x+2x+7
3x-24 - 3x+7
-24 - 7
What is the solution to Kamal's equation?
0-24
O 7
O no solution
O infinitely many solutions

Answer 1

A

Explanation:

Answer 2

no solution

Explanation:

3(x-8)=x+2x+7

3x-24=3x+7

there is no solution bc both sides, when simplified, that x is not defined.

you end up canceling the 3x in both sides and so,

-24 does not equal 7
