Answer:
no solution
Step-by-step explanation:
given the equation
4(x - 1) - x = 3(x + 5) - 11 ← distribute parenthesis on both sides and simplify
4x - 4 - x = 3x + 15 - 11
3x - 4 = 3x + 4 ( add 4 to both sides )
3x = 3x + 8 ( subtract 3x from both sides )
0 = 8 ← not possible
This situation indicates the equation has no solution
Answer:
no solution (the sides are NOT equal)
Step-by-step explanation:
start by expanding the brackets using the distributive law:
4(x-1) - x = 3(x+5) - 11
4x - 4 - x = 3x + 15 - 11
combine like terms on each side by adding/subtracting values to both sides:
4x - x - 3x = 15 - 11 + 4
combine like terms:
0 = 8
as the sides aren't equivalent there is no solution for this problem
