Question

4x+8=2x+7+2x-20
Solve the equation and show your work. Tell whether it has one solution, an infinite number of
solutions, or no solutions, and identify each equation as an identity, a contradiction, or neither.

Answer 1

Answer:

No solution

Step-by-step explanation:

Combine like terms on the two sides of this equation:  4x + 8 = 4x - 13.

Subtracting 4x and 8 from both sides, we get 0 = -21.  This is never true.  This means that the equation has no solution.
