You can put this solution on YOUR website!
$\"7-4%28x%2B6%29=3%288-x%29-%28x-17%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Simplify both sides.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"7-4x-24=24-3x-x%2B17\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"-4x-1=-4x%2B41\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"-1=41\"$
\n" ); document.write( "False, so this is a contradiction. No solution set, that is, no choice of $\"x\"$ will make this true.\r
