Explanation:
The main goal is to separate the values on opposite sides of the equal sign.
2 + 2x = 3 + 2x
-2 -2 ⬅Subtract 2 from both expressions
2x = 1 + 2x
-2x - 2x ⬅Subtract 2x from both sides.
0 = 1
Answer:
0 does not equal 1, which means that this equation is inconsistent. In other words, there is no solution. 0 does not equal 1, so 2 + 2x does not equal 3 + 2x.
I hope this helps! :)
