Question

How many solutions does the equation 2 + 6(x - 4) = 3x - 18 + 3x have?210infinite

Answer 1

2 + 6(x - 4) = 3x - 18 + 3x

Distributing and combining similar terms

2 + 6x - 6*4 = 6x - 18

2 + 6x - 24 = 6x - 18

6x - 22 = 6x - 18

Now, we have the equations of two lines, 6x - 22 and 6x - 18, which are parallel then there are 0 solutions.
