Question

-2(x - 2) - 4x = 3(x + 1) - 9x

Answer 1

`\huge\boxed{\text{no solution}}`

Distribute the
`-2` and the
`3`.
`-2x-2(-2)-4x=3x+3(1)-9x`

Multiply.
`-2x+4-4x=3x+3-9x`

Combine the like terms.
`-6x+4=-6x+3`

Add
`6x` on both sides of the equation.
`4=3`

This statement is false, so this equation has
`\boxed{\text{no solution}}`.
