Question

A. 3x - 1= 4x + 8 - X

There is no solution

im having trouble understanding how this dosent have a solution​

Answer 1

Explanation:

3x - 1=4x +8 - x

3x - 4x +x = 1 +8 (grouping method)

4x - 4x =9

0 =9

(impossible) : where it's impossible to 0 to be equal to number 9, right

So, there's no solution

Note: grouping method means when you group x alone and the real numbers alone, so as you see up i put the numbers ending by x before the equal sign (=) and the normal numbers (1 and 8) after (=)

Hope this helps..

Have a nice day :)

Answer 2

Explanation:

3x-1=4x+8-x

3x-1=3x+8

or -1 =8

which is impossible as -1≠8

so no solution.
