Question

Solve for x: −2(x + 3) = −2(x + 1) − 4. (1 point) a 2 b 3 c All real numbers d No solution

Answer 1

-2(x + 3) = -2(x + 1) - 4

-2x - 6 = -2x - 2 - 4        distributed -2 on the left and on the right

-2x - 6 = -2x - 6

+2x       +2x      

     -6 =        -6

        TRUE

Since this is a true statement, there are infinite solutions (aka All Real Numbers)

Answer: C
