Question

3(2.4x + 4 ) = 4.1x + 7 + 3.1x

Answer 1

Equation has no solution

Here, we want to find the value of x

We start by opening the bracket on the left hand side

We have;

`\begin{gathered} 3(2.4x\text{ + 4) = 4.1x + 7 + 3.1x} \\ \\ 7.2x\text{ + 12 = 4.1x + 3.1x + 7} \\ \\ 7.2x\text{ + 12 = 7.2x + 7} \\ \end{gathered}`

Since the 7.2x on either side will cancel out, the equation has no solution
