Question

-2(x - 2) - 4x = 3(x + 1) - 9x

Answer 1

$\huge\boxed{\text{no solution}}$

Distribute the $-2$ and the $3$. $-2x-2(-2)-4x=3x+3(1)-9x$

Multiply. $-2x+4-4x=3x+3-9x$

Combine the like terms. $-6x+4=-6x+3$

Add $6x$ on both sides of the equation. $4=3$

This statement is false, so this equation has $\boxed{\text{no solution}}$.
