Answer: no solution

Explanation:

-2(x-7)+3(x+5)=x+9

Distribute

-2x+14+3(x+5)=x+9

Distribute

-2x+14+3x+15=x+9

Combine like terms

x+29=x+9

Subtract(x)

29=9

Because 29 does not equal 9, the equation has no solutions

Hope it helps <3

Answer:

There is no solution.

Explanation:


- 2(x - 7) + 3(x + 5) = x + 9

Distribute -2 through the parentheses


- 2x + 14 + 3(x + 5) = x + 9

Distribute -3 through the parentheses


- 2x + 14 + 3x + 15 = x + 9

Collect like terms


x + 14 + 15 = x + 9

Add the numbers


x + 29 = x + 9

Cancel equal terms on both sides of the equation


29 = 9

The statement is false for any value of x

x

Hope this helps..

Best regards!!
