Question

2(x+4)-6 = 2(x-8)+1
plz show work because if I don't have it then I can't pass ​

Answer 1

no solution

Explanation:

Given

2(x + 4) - 6 = 2(x - 8) + 1 ← distribute and simplify both sides

2x + 8 - 6 = 2x - 16 + 1

2x + 2 = 2x - 15 ( subtract 2 from both sides )

2x = 2x - 17 ( subtract 2x from both sides )

0 = - 17 ← not possible

This indicates the equation has no solution
