Question

6(2x - 7) – 3 = 12x - 21 What is the answer

Answer 1

Answer:

no solution

Step-by-step explanation:

12x - 42 - 3 = 12x - 21

12x - 45 = 12x - 21

-45 ≠ -21

Answer 2

Answer:

No solution

Step-by-step explanation:

6(2x - 7) - 3 = 12x - 21

First, you have to use the distributive property on the left side.

12x - 42 - 3 = 12x - 21

You will have to add like terms on the left side.

12x - 45 = 12x - 21

Now you can subtract 12x (from either side) from both sides.

12x - 45 - 12x = 12x - 21 - 12x

-45 = -21

-45 is not equal to -21, therefore, there is no solution, or the euqation is not true.
