Question

1-6(-X + 8) = -6x + 12
How many solutions are their

Answer 1

There is one solution

`x = 4(11)/(12)`

Explanation:

`1-6\left(-x+8\right)=-6x+12\\\\\mathrm{Expand\:}1-6\left(-x+8\right):\quad 6x-47\\\\6x-47=-6x+12\\\\Collect\:like\:terms\:and\:simplify\\\\6x +6x =12+47\\\\12x=59\\\\\mathrm{Divide\:both\:sides\:by\:}12\\\\(12x)/(12)=(59)/(12)\\\\Simplify\\\\x =(59)/(12)\\\\59/ 12 = 4\:reemainder\: 12\\\\= 4(11)/(12)`

Answer 2

no solution

Explanation:

distribute -6 to get:

1-6x-48=-6x+12

the -6x on both sides cancels out giving you:

1-48=12

-47=12

since this isn't true there's no solution
