Question

Solve the equation 3b-13+4b=7b+1

Answer 1

The given equation has no solution.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the equation:

`3b-13+4b=7b+1`

To solve, Firstly let's collect the like terms;

`\begin{gathered} 3b-13+4b=7b+1 \\ 3b+4b-13=7b+1 \\ 7b-13=7b+1 \end{gathered}`

From the resulting equation, we can see that the left side of the equation is not equal to the right side.

Adding 13 to both sides;

`\begin{gathered} 7b-13+13=7b+1+13 \\ 7b=7b+14 \end{gathered}`

Therefore, the given equation has no solution.
