This equation is also equal to 3/4x - 2/3 + 5/6 + 2x since subtracting a negative is the same as adding a positive in the long run. First, simplify the variables to get 2 3/4x - 2/3 + 5/6. -2/3 is also equal to -4/6, so -4/6 + 5/6 is 1/6. The simplified version of this expression is 2 3/4x + 1/6. Hope this helps!

24 + 3x = 3x + 3(7 - 1)
Eliminate the parentheses: 24 + 3x = 3x + 3(6)
24 + 3x = 3x + 18
Subtract 3x from each side: <em>24 = 18</em>
Look at that for a second. Can ANY value of 'x' make 24 equal to 18 ?
I don't think so.
There's NO number that makes the equation a true statement.
That's just another way to say: "The equation has NO solution."
