Question 132460


{{{2(x-5)=2x+10}}} Start with the given equation




{{{2x-10=2x+10}}} Distribute



{{{2x=2x+10+10}}}Add 10 to both sides



{{{2x-2x=10+10}}} Subtract 2x from both sides



{{{0x=10+10}}} Combine like terms on the left side



{{{0x=20}}} Combine like terms on the right side



{{{0=20}}} Simplify


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