Question 342509


{{{3(2z-1)=6z+5}}} Start with the given equation.



{{{6z-3=6z+5}}} Distribute.



{{{6z=6z+5+3}}} Add {{{3}}} to both sides.



{{{6z-6z=5+3}}} Subtract {{{6z}}} from both sides.



{{{0z=5+3}}} Combine like terms on the left side.



{{{0z=8}}} Combine like terms on the right side.



{{{0=8}}} Simplify.



Since this equation is <u><font size=4><b>NEVER</b></font></u> true for any z value, this means that there are no solutions.
