Q:

Use the drop-down menus to complete each equation so the statement about its solution is true. 7 + 2x = 2(x - 1) + 4

Accepted Solution

A:
Hello, I'll try to make this as easy to understand as possible, anyways, let's begin: First off, we need to do the multiplication on the right side, like this:7 + 2x = 2(x - 1) + 4            ↓7 + 2x = 2x - 2 + 4Now, we need to pass all the x's to one side, and the numbers to the others, like so:7 + 2x = 2x - 2 + 4            ↓-2x + 2x = - 7 - 2 + 4Then, we do the addition and subtraction:-2x + 2x = - 7 - 2 + 4            ↓0x = -5This means that...The equation has no solution.Hope this helped! c:
