1. The race, therefore, was equally challenging to all the contestants.
2. Are you going to join us for tea, Mrs. Collins?
3. The rowers, of course, were exhausted after the three-hour race.
Answer:
There is no solution
Explanation:
2x + 4(5 - 2) = 12
Solve for x
_______________
To solve, we need to get x on its own :
2x + 4(5 - 2) = 12
Distribute :
2x + (4(5) - 4(2)) = 12
2x + 20 - 8 = 12
Add like terms :
2x + 12 = 12
Subtract 12 from both sides :
2x = 0
Therefore there is no solution to this equation
