Question

4(x - 1) + 1 = 6x - 2(4 + x)
solve the equation for x

Answer 1

$\\ \sf\dashrightarrow 4(x-1)+1=6x-2(4+x)$

$\\ \sf\dashrightarrow 4x-4+1=6x-8-2x$

$\\ \sf\dashrightarrow 4x-3=4x-8$

$\\ \sf\dashrightarrow 4x-4x=-8+3$

$\\ \sf\dashrightarrow 0=-5$

• No solution

Answer 2

Answer:

open the brackets

4x -4 +1 =6x-8 +2x

colect the like terms together

8x-4x=-8 +4 -1

4x=-5
