Question

8.-2(x + 1) = -2x + 5​

Answer 1

-2 (x+1) = -2x +5
-2x+-2 = -2x+5
+2 +2
-2x=-2x+7
+2x +2x
0=7
At this point, you can see that the solution is unsolvable. Obviously, zero does not equal seven. There are zero solutions to the equation

Answer 2

-2(x + 1) = -2x + 5

mutiply the bracket by -2

(-2)(x)= -2x

(-2)(1)= -2

-2x-2= -2x+5

move -2x to the left side

sign changes from -2x to 2x

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

0-2= 0-5

-2= -5

Answer:

no solution
