SOLUTION: Solve. 10(–x – 7) + 20 = –5(2x + 4)
Here is what I ahve
10(-7 + -1x) + 20 = -5(2x + 4)
(-7 * 10 + -1x * 10) + 20 = -5(2x + 4)
(-70 + -10x) + 20 = -5(2x + 4)
-70 + 20 + -10

Question 85331: Solve. 10(–x – 7) + 20 = –5(2x + 4)
Here is what I ahve
10(-7 + -1x) + 20 = -5(2x + 4)
(-7 * 10 + -1x * 10) + 20 = -5(2x + 4)
(-70 + -10x) + 20 = -5(2x + 4)
-70 + 20 + -10x = -5(2x + 4)
-70 + 20 = -50
-50 + -10x = -5(2x + 4)
-50 + -10x = -5(4 + 2x)
-50 + -10x = (4 * -5 + 2x * -5)
-50 + -10x = (-20 + -10x)
-50 + -10x + 10x = -20 + -10x + 10x
-10x + 10x = 0
-50 + 0 = -20 + -10x + 10x
-50 = -20 + -10x + 10x
-10x + 10x = 0
-50 = -20 + 0
-50 = -20

Start with the given equation
Distribute
Multiply
Add 10x to both sides
Notice the x terms add to zero
Combine like terms
Since this equation is false no matter what x is equal to (x is not a factor in this equation any more), there are no solutions. Notice if we graph the equations
here is the left equation in y form
here is the right equation in y form
we get
and here you can clearly see that these two parallel lines will never intersect. Since they never intersect, there are no solutions.
