Question

Determine whether each equation is an identity or whether it has no solution.-3(2x+1)=2(-3x-1) help is this a no solution or infinite

Answer 1

no solution

Explanation:

Perform the indicated multiplication, using the distributive property.

-3(2x+1)=2(-3x-1) becomes -6x - 3 = -6x - 2

This has no solution because -3 is never equal to -2.

Answer 2

No solution.

Explanation:

Distribute.

-3(2x + 1) = 2(-3x - 1)

-6x - 3 = -6x - 2

Combine like terms.

-6x - 3 = -6x - 2 add 3 to both sides

-6x = -6x + 1 add 6x to both sides

0 = 1 this is false.

Because we ended up with a false equation, there is no solution to this equation.
