Question

Algebra 18x + 12 = 4(2x + 3)

Answer 1

The problem has no solution

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the equation:

`8x+12=4(2x+3)`

To solve this, we first of divide both sides of the equation by 4

`\begin{gathered} (8x+12)/(4)=(4(2x+3))/(4) \\ \\ 2x+3=2x+3 \end{gathered}`

From the last equation, subracting 2x from both sides is required if we must obtain a value for x.

Doing so however, makes the variable x vanish, and hence the problem has no solution
