Question

3(5x + 7) = 30 + 15x how many solutions

Answer 1

Zero solutions

Explanation:

3(5x + 7) = 30 + 15x, Use the distributive property

15x + 21 = 30 + 15x, The 15x from both sides cancel each other out

21 ≠ 30 No matter what value of x is, 21 will never equal 30

Answer 2

No solution

Explanation:

3(5x+7) = 30 + 15x

DISTRIBUTE

15x+21 = 30+15x

15x-15x = 0

So no solution
