Question

2(5x + 3) + 2 = 10x + 6

A-one solution
B-infinitely many solutions
c-no solution

Answer 1

C

Explanation:

Given

2(5x + 3) + 2 = 10x + 6 ← distribute and simplify left side

10x + 6 + 2 = 10x + 6

10x + 8 = 10x + 6 ( subtract 6 from both sides )

10x + 2 = 10x ( subtract 10x from both sides )

2 = 0 ← not possible

This indicates the equation has no solution

Answer 2

no solutions

Explanation:

2(5x + 3) + 2 = 10x + 6

* solve for x *

step 1 distribute the 2 to 5x and 3

2 * 5x = 10x

2*3=6

we now have 10x + 6 + 2 = 10x + 6

step 2 combine like terms

6 + 2 = 8

we now have 10x + 8 = 10x + 6

step 3 subtract 10x from each side

10x-10x=0

10x-10x=0

we're left with 8 = 6

8 is not equal to 6 meaning that there are no solutions to the equation
