Mathematics

3(2x + 8 ) = 6x + 8

Solve:

Step 1: Simplify both sides:

3(2x + 8) = 6x + 8

(3)(2x) + (3)(8) = 6x + 8 (Distribute):

6x + 24 = 6x + 8

Step 2: Subtract 6x from both sides (Which this is the error in the equation).

6x + 24 - 6x = 6x + 8 - 6x

24 = 8

Step 3: Subtract 24 from both sides:

24 - 24 = 8 - 24

0 = - 16

Answer: There are no solutions.

Hope that helps!!!!! : ) Answer: There are no Solutions.

We are given this equation here : 3(2x+8)=6x+8

let us distribute 3 over the bracket using distributive property,

6x+24=6x+8

Here as we can see we have 6x on both sides which will cancel out, so this is the error here and we will have no solution for x.

X + x + 2 = 90
2x + 2 = 90
-2. -2
to combine like terms
2x = 88
Divide both sides by 2 to isolate x
x = 44

Answer
A is x+2 = 46
B is x = 44

Total 90 degrees = complementary angle
