Answer:
No solutions
Explanation.
Rewrite. 3 x − 7 = 0 + 0 + 3 ( x + 1 )
Simplify by adding zeros. 3 x − 7 = 3 ( x + 1 )
Apply the distributive property. 3 x − 7 = 3 x + 3 ⋅ 1
Multiply 3 by 1 . 3 x − 7 = 3 x + 3
Subtract 3 x 3x from both sides of the equation. 3 x − 7 − 3 x = 3
Subtract 3 x 3x from 3 x 3x. 0 − 7 = 3 0-7=3
Subtract 7 7 from 0 0. − 7 = 3
Since − 7 ≠ 3 , there are no solutions.
