Question

3(x + 2) + 4x – 5 = 7(x + 1) – 6
Please help

Answer 1

Infinitely many solutions or 0=0

Explanation:

3(x + 2) + 4x – 5 = 7(x + 1) – 6

First distribute the 3 and 7 within the parentheses

3x+6+4x-5=7x+7-6

Then collect like terms

7x+1=7x+1

and that will ultimately equal 0=0 or, infinitely many solutions

Answer 2
