Question

6x+1=6x-8. I need to show my work also

Answer 1

Answer:

No solution.

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets try to solve it.

6x + 1 = 6x - 8      Bring like terms to the same side:  

6x - 6x =  -8 - 1

0 = -9  which is absurd so there is no solution to this equation.

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

$6x+1=6x-8\qquad\text{subtract}\ 6x\ \text{from both sides}\\\\6x-6x+1=6x-6x-8\\\\1=-8\qquad\bold{FALSE}\\\\\text{Therefore the equation has no solution}\ (x\in\O)$
