Question

−2(x−7)+3(x+5)=x+9 PLEASE HELP

Answer 1

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 2

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..
