Question 117026


{{{11-4(x+1)-3=11+2(4-2x)-16}}} Start with the given equation




{{{11-4x-4-3=11+8-4x-16}}} Distribute



{{{-4x+4=11+8-4x-16}}} Combine like terms on the left side



{{{-4x+4=-4x+3}}} Combine like terms on the right side



{{{-4x=-4x+3-4}}}Subtract 4 from both sides



{{{-4x+4x=3-4}}} Add 4x to both sides



{{{0x=3-4}}} Combine like terms on the left side



{{{0x=-1}}} Combine like terms on the right side



{{{0=-1}}} Simplify


Since this equation is <font size=4><b>never</b></font> true for any x value, this means there are no solutions.
