Question

-6(x + 1) = 2(1 - 3x) - 7

Answer 1

0x = +1

Explanation:

–6(x + 1) = 2(1 – 3x) – 7

–6x –6 = 2 – 6x – 7

– 6x –6 = –6x + 2 – 7

–6x – 6 = – 6x – 5

–6x + 6x = – 5 + 6

0 = +1

This means that there is no solution for x

Answer 2

Explanation:

Let's solve your equation step-by-step.

−6(x+1)=2(1−3x)−7

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

−6(x+1)=2(1−3x)−7

(−6)(x)+(−6)(1)=(2)(1)+(2)(−3x)+−7(Distribute)

−6x+−6=2+−6x+−7

−6x−6=(−6x)+(2+−7)(Combine Like Terms)

−6x−6=−6x+−5

−6x−6=−6x−5

Step 2: Add 6x to both sides.

−6x−6+6x=−6x−5+6x

−6=−5

Step 3: Add 6 to both sides.

−6+6=−5+6

0=1

Answer:

There are no solutions.
