Answer:

<h2>no solution</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

6x - 1 = 3(2x + 4) - 1 <em>use the distributive property </em><em>a(b + c) = ab + ac</em>

6x - 1 = (3)(2x) + (3)(4) + 1

6x - 1 = 6x + 12 + 1 <em>subtract 6x from both sides</em>

6x - 6x - 1 = 6x - 6x + 13

-1 = 13 FALSE

$6x - 1 = 3(2x + 4) - 1$
Distribute
$6x - 1 = 6x + 12 - 1$
Combine like terms
$6x - 1 = 6x + 11$
Add 1 and subtract 6x from each side
0 = 12
The equation has no real solution
