Question

5 + 2(3 + 2x) = x + 3(x + 1)

Answer 1

Answer:

no solution

Step-by-step explanation:

5 + 2(3 + 2x) = x + 3(x + 1) ← distribute parenthesis on both sides

5 + 6 + 4x = x + 3x + 3 , simplify both sides

11 + 4x = 4x + 3 ( subtract 11 from both sides )

4x = 4x - 8 ( subtract 4x from both sides )

0 = - 8 ←  false statement

This indicates the equation has no solution
