Question

2(x-3)= 2x +5 help me out please

Answer 1

Answer:

Look Down Low

Step-by-step explanation:

2(x - 3)  =  2x + 5

Multiply out the left side:

2x - 6  =  2x + 5

Subtract 2x from both sides:

   -6  =  5

Since this is impossible, this "equation" cannot be solved.

Answer 2

Answer:

11

Step-by-step explanation:

2(x - 3) = 2x + 5

Distribute 2 into (x - 3) on the left

2 X x -2 X 3 = 2x + 5

2x - 6 = 2x + 5

Add 6 to both sides to eliminate 6 on the left

2x - 6 + 6 = 2x + 5 + 6

2x = 2x + 11

Subtract 2x from both sides to put x on one side

2x - 2x = 2x - 2x + 11

0 = 11
