Question

Do –2(3x – 1) = –6x – 1 have one solution

Answer 1

there is no solution

Explanation:

There are no values of x that make the equation true.

Answer 2

No solutions

Explanation:

–2(3x – 1) = –6x – 1

First distribute the left side

-6x + 2 = -6x - 1

Add 1 to both sides

-6x + 3 = -6x

Add 6x to both sides

3 = 0

This equation is not true because 3 does NOT equal 0. Therefor, this equation has no solutions.
