Answer:

x=6

Step-by-step explanation:

You would want to simplify and isolate "x" by itself.

First step is to add the like terms on one side:

2x+x+2=5x-10 ---> 3x+2=5x-10

Next, subtract 2 from both sides to simply the expression.

3x+2=5x-10

-2 -2

=3x=5x-12

Subtract 5x from both sides as well to simplify:

3x=5x-12

-5 -5

=-2x=-12

Divide both sides by -2 to isolate the x by itself.

-2x=-12

/-2 /-2

x=6

How many solutions can be found for the equation 4x - 8 - 4x = 9? (4 points)

Ksivusya [100]

Answer:

A. Zero

Step-by-step explanation:

This would have no solution because when you try to solve the equation and simplify, the 4x's cancel out, leaving no variable and making the equation reduce to: -8=9 which is false, and therefore, this has no solution.

I hope this helps!
