Answer:

Explanation:

2(x+3)=9+2x

Expanding 2x+6=9+2x

Subtracting 2x on both sides

6=9

As 6 is not equal to 9, it is an inconsistent equation.

Answer:

This is an inconsistent equation

Explanation:

2(x+3)=9+2x

Distribute

2x+6 = 9+2x

Subtract 2x from each side

2x+6-2x =9+2x-2x

6=9

This is never true so there are no solutions.

This is an inconsistent equation
