Question

Which statement represents the simplified form of the given equation and correctly describes the solution? 1/2(4x + 2) = 2(x + 1/2)
A. X=2; Exactly one real solution

B. X=4; Exactly on real solution

C. Infinite real solutions

D. No real solution

Answer 1

1/2(4x+2) = 2(x+1/2) | 2x + 1 = 2x + 1 | You subtract 1 on both sides and subtract 2x, therefore making it 0 | D. No real solution
