Question

What is the solution to 3(2x-1)=(6x+5)

Answer 1

We are given this equation and I'm assuming you want us to solve for x

`3(2x-1)=6x+5`

Use the distributive property on the left side of the equation

`6x-3=6x+5`

Subtract both sides by 6x

`-3=5`

After trying to solve for x, we have this weird equation. Since -3 does NOT equal 5 and there is no other way for us to try and solve this, the equation has no solution.

Let me know if you need any clarifications, thanks!
