Question

Solve for x: -2(x + 3) = -2x - 6

A. 0
B. 3
C. All real numbers
D.No solution

Answer 1

D.No solution

Answer 2

C

Explanation:

-2(x + 3) = -2x - 6 Remove the brackets

-2x - 6 = -2x - 6

Since the left and right sides are equal, any number will work.

If you wind up with a false statement, then there are no solutions.

2x + 4 = 2x + 7 Subtract 2x from both sides.

4 = 7
