-2(x + 3) = -2(x + 1) - 4
-2x - 6 = -2x - 2 - 4 <em>distributed -2 on the left and on the right</em>
-2x - 6 = -2x - 6
<u>+2x </u> <u>+2x </u>
-6 = -6
TRUE
Since this is a true statement, there are infinite solutions (aka All Real Numbers)

Hello!</h2>
The answer is:

<h2>
Why?</h2>
To solve the problem we need to add/subtract like terms. We need to remember that like terms are the terms that share the same variable and the same exponent.
For example, we have:

We have that we were able to add just the terms that were sharing the same variable and exponenr (x for this case).
So, we are given the expression:

Hence, the answer is:

Have a nice day!
Answer:
8
Step-by-step explanation:
For the smallest possible length, this has to be one of the shorter sides. Let the length of this side be x.
So, by the triangle inequality theorem, 1+x>8, which means x>7.
So, the smallest possible whole number length is 8.
