Question

Solve 2(x + 1) = 2x + 5​

Answer 1

See below

Explanation:

● 2(x+1) = 2x +5

Multiply 2 by (x+1)

● 2x + 1×2 = 2x+5

● 2x + 2 = 2x+5

Substract 2x from both sides

● 2x+2-2x = 2x+5-2x

● 2 = 5

This is impossible, so this equation has no solution.

Answer 2

no solution

Explanation:

Given

2(x + 1) = 2x + 5 ← distribute parenthesis on left side

2x + 1 = 2x + 5 ( subtract 1 from both sides )

2x = 2x + 4 ( subtract 2x from both sides )

0 = 4 ← not possible

This indicates the equation has no solution
