0=(-9)

Explanation:

4x + 7 = -2 + 4x

4x + 7 = 4x -2

subtract 7 from both sides of the equation.

simplify your answer.

subtract 4x from both sides of the equation.

simplify your answer again.

4x + 7 = 4x -2

___-7 = 4x -7

4x __ = 4x -9

__4x = 4x -9

-4x = -4x -9

__0 = -9

the input is a contradiction: it has no solutions.
