Answer:

No, Ivory is incorrect. The equation does have a solution, and the solution is x = -1.

Step-by-step explanation:

We try to solve the equation first.

2x + 2 = x + 1

We want all variables on the left side and all numbers on the right side.

Subtract x from both sides.

x + 2 = 1

Subtract 2 from both sides.

x = -1

Check: Plug in -1 for x on both sides and see if it makes a true statement.

2x + 2 = x + 1

2(-1) + 2 = -1 + 1

-2 + 2 = 0

0 = 0

0 = 0 is a true statement, so the solution x = -1 is the correct solution.

Answer: Ivory is incorrect. The equation does have a solution, and the solution is x = -1.

Gekata [30.6K]
(x - 4)(x - 3), First find the factors of x^2 which is x and x so write that down of the left sides of both brackets. Next, find the factors of 12 that when added gives you the middle number which is -7 and i got 3 and 4 so write that down in the right sides in the brackets. Lastly you need to know the signs so now since its + 12 you need the signs that give you a positive number which is - and - but its also + and +, so look at the middle number its -7x so +3 +4 wont give you -7x but -3 - 4 will so that your answer,
