Question

How many solutions does 3(2.4×+4)=4.1x+7+3.1x

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

$3(2.4x+4)=4.1x+7+3.1x\qquad\text{use the distributive property}\\\\(3)(2.4x)+(3)(4)=(4.1x+3.1x)+7\\\\7.2x+12=7.2x+7\qquad\text{subtract}\ 7.2x\ \text{from both sides}\\\\12=7\qquad\text{FALSE}\\\\Answer:\ \text{Zero (no solutions)}.$
