Question

Does -2(3x-1)=-6x-1 have how many solutions?

Answer 1

The equation -2(3x-1)=-6x-1 does not have any solutions.

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation -2(3x-1)=-6x-1 is a linear equation. To solve for x, we can distribute the -2 into the parentheses to get -6x+2=-6x-1. By combining like terms, we have 2=-1. Since this is a contradiction, there are no solutions for this equation.

Answer 2

None

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's attempt to solve the equation, and see what happens:

-2(3x-1) = -6x -1

-6x +2 = -6x - 1 (expanding the brackets).

2 = -1 (cancelling out the -6x term from each side).

So, since 2 = -1 is not true, this means there are no solutions to this equation.
