Question 990179: hi im trying to help my sister with her algebra and we cant seem to solve the equation properly heres the equation if you can just explain how to do it it would be greatly appreciated 3(-2-3x)=-9x-4 Answer by solver91311(24713) (Show Source):
Distribute the 3 across the parentheses in the LHS.
Add 6 to both sides.
Add 9x to both sides.
End up with the absurdity 0 = 2
The interpretation of this result is that the solution set is the empty set. In other words, a value for that makes the original equation a true statement does not exist.
