Question

Which statement is true about this equation?

-(2x + 4) + x = 3x − 4x − 4


The equation has one solution, x = 0.

The equation has one solution, x = 4.

The equation has no solution.

The equation has infinitely many solutions.

Answer 1

No solution

Explanation:

First you would start off by multiplying the -1 into the 2x and 4 which equals -2x and -4 then you would combine like terms on both sides. This leaves you with -1x-4=-1x-4. You would now subtract the -1 to the other side of the equal sign which leaves -4=-4 there for having no soultion

Answer 2

4th option

Explanation:

Given

- (2x + 4) + x = 3x - 4x - 4 ← simplify both sides

- 2x - 4 + x = - x - 4

- x - 4 = - x - 4

Since both sides are equal then the equation has infinitely many solutions
