Question 648886
This is testing your knowledge of the distributive property. As such:

{{{2x+4 = 5(x+1) - 3(x+2)}}}
{{{2x+4 = 5(highlight(x) + highlight(1)) - 3(highlight(x) + highlight(2))}}}
{{{2x+4 = 5*x + 5*1 - 3*x - 3*2}}} Important to notice that it's -3 being distributed in the 2nd equation.
{{{2x+4 = 5x +5 - 3x - 6}}}
{{{2x+4 = 2x -1}}}
Stop right here, cause there is no solution! I'll show you:
Subtract 2x from both sides to get
{{{4 = -1}}} which is a false statement. THIS CAN NEVER HAPPEN!
So, your answer is simply: NO SOLUTION.
