Hi Brainiac

4x-5=2(2x+1)

Distribute

4x-5= (2)(2x)+(2)(1)

4x-5=4x+2

Subtract 4x

4x-5-4x= 4x+2-4x

-5=2

Add 5

-5+5=2+5

0=7

There are no solutions

I hope that's help:0

Tri City sells four times as many dishwashers as Solly Company. The difference between their sales is 96 dishwashers. How many d

kondaur [170]

We use a system of equations to solve this. Since tri city sells 4 times it becomes 4x and solly company is x. Then we do 4x-x=96. 3x=96. x=32. We are not finished yet. We still have to multiply x by 4. x=128. Tri City sold 128 dishwashers.
