Which of the following is a valid step in the solution of $2x + 4x + 3 = 0? 2 42x12 = (4x+3 2 42x -VX+31 x 421 VI-3 4271* = -41+316 RETRY​

Answer 1

a

Explanation:

Answer 2

1.1 Pull out like factors

6x+3= 3•(2x+1)

2.1 This equation has no solution

A non-zero constant never equals zero

2.2 Solve: 2x+1=0

Subtract 1 from both sides of the equation: 2x= -1

Divide both side of the equation by 2

x= -1/2= -0.500
