The answer would be x ≠ 0
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
First start with the left side, doing distributive property
So... -2(x) = -2x and -2(5) = -10 Therefore on the left side you now have -2x -10
Next do the same on the right side
-2(x) = - 2x and -2(-2) = 4 so you have -2x + 4 + 5 and you add 4 and 5, leaving you with -2x + 9
Now that you have simplified both sides the problem now looks like this:
-2x - 10 = -2x + 9
Because you have equal terms on both sides (-2) those cancel out so you have -10 = 9
Just from looking at this we know that the statement is false because -1o does not equal 9
*The symbol, "≠" means not equal to"
Answer:
The smaller number equals 12, the larger number equals 51.
Step-by-step explanation:
x + (3x + 15) = 63
Combine like terms.
4x + 15 = 63
Subtract 15 from both sides.
4x + (15 -15) = (63 - 15)
4x = 48
Divide both sides by 4.
4x/4 = 48/4
x = 12
Check answer.
12 + (3(12) + 15) = 63
12 + 36 + 15 = 63
63 = 63
293/12 is 24 and a lot of numbers. I think it is 24.4166667.

one simple way to tell if both equations do ever meet or have a solution is by checking their slope, notice in this case the slopes are the same for both, meaning the lines are parallel lines, however, notice both equations are really the same, namely the 2nd equation is really the 1st one in disguise.
since both equations are equal, their graph will be of one line pancaked on top of the other, and the solutions is where they meet, hell, they meet everywhere since one is on top of the other, so infinitely many solutions.
