Question

I Need help 25 points. Two boats are traveling in a canal in opposite directions, where x represents the distance, in feet, between the boats. The equation 2(x + 1) = 2x + 5 models the paths of the boats. Solve for x.
No solution 0 3

Answer 1

Since 0 ≠ 3, there are No Solutions to equation 2(x + 1) = 2x + 5 that models the paths of the boats.

What is the possible solution to the equation 2(x + 1) = 2x + 5 that models the paths of the boats?

Given the equation in the equation;

• 2(x + 1) = 2x + 5
• Value of x = ?

2(x + 1) = 2x + 5

First, remove the parenthesis by distributive property

2 × x + 2 × 1 = 2x + 5

2x + 2 = 2x + 5

Collect like terms

2x - 2x = 5 - 2

0 ≠ 3

Since 0 ≠ 3 there are No Solution to equation 2(x + 1) = 2x + 5 that models the paths of the boats.
