Hey there!
8(3x - 6) = 6(4x + 8)
8(3x) + 8(-6) = 6(4x) + 6(8)
24x - 48 = 24x + 48
SUBTRACT 24x to BOTH SIDES
24x - 48 - 24x = 24x + 48 - 24
SIMPLIFY IT!
NEW EQUATION: -48 = 48
ADD 48 to BOTH SIDES
-48 + 48 = 48 + 48
NEW EQUATION: 0 = 96
Thus this makes your equation has
NO SOLUTION.
Therefore, your answer is:
Option A. Because this is a false
statement, the equation has no solution.
Good luck on your assignment and enjoy your day!
