Question

6x+1=6x-8. I need to show my work also

Answer 1

Explanation:

`6x+1=6x-8\qquad\text{subtract}\ 6x\ \text{from both sides}\\\\6x-6x+1=6x-6x-8\\\\1=-8\qquad\bold{FALSE}\\\\\text{Therefore the equation has no solution}\ (x\in\O)`

Answer 2

No solution.

Explanation:

Lets try to solve it.

6x + 1 = 6x - 8 Bring like terms to the same side:

6x - 6x = -8 - 1

0 = -9 which is absurd so there is no solution to this equation.
