Question 456504: 4(2x-1)+6=8x-3
Answer by algebrahouse.com(1659)   (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! 4(2x-1) + 6 = 8x - 3
8x - 4 + 6 = 8x - 3 {used distributive property}
8x + 2 = 8x - 3 {combined like terms}
0 = -5 {subtracted 8x and subtracted 2 from both sides}
= no solution
- When the variable disappears and you get a false statement,
such as, 0 = -5, then there is "no solution"
- When the variable disappears and you get a true statement,
such as, 3 = 3, then there are "infinite solutions"
