Question

The expression on the left side of an equation is shown below.

3(x+1)+9=0

If the equation has no solution, which expression can be written in the box on the other side of the equation?

3[x+4)

2[x+8)+x

4(x-3) -

03(x+1)+9x

Answer 1

C

Explanation:

just finished it on edge and got a 100 :)

Answer 2

A. 3(x + 4)

Explanation:

All we have to do to get the expression on the other side is to expand the bracket on the left and factorise the expression.

The equation given is:

3(x + 1) + 9 = 0

Expanding the left hand side and factorising:

3x + 3 + 9

=> 3x + 12

=> 3(x + 4)

Therefore, the expression that can be written on the other side is 3(x + 4)
