Answer:

x = no solutions

General Formulas and Concepts:

Pre-Algebra

  • Order of Operations: BPEMDAS
  • Equality Properties

Explanation:

Step 1: Define

-2 + 3x = 2x + 6 + x

Step 2: Solve for x

  1. Combine like terms: -2 + 3x = 3x + 6
  2. Subtract 3x on both sides: -2 ≠ 6

Here we see that -2 does not equal 6. ∴ x has no solutions.
