Question

2(a − 4) = 4a − (2a + 4)

Answer 1

No solution

Explanation:

Answer 2

x = no solution

Explanation:

Step 1: Write equation

2(a - 4) = 4a - (2a + 4)

Step 2: Solve for a

Distribute: 2a - 8 = 4a - 2a - 4

Combine like terms: 2a - 8 = 2a - 4

Subtract 2a on both sides: -8 ≠ -4

∴ x = no solution
