Question

3x - 8 = 3(x - 3) -2

Answer 1

False = no solution exists

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

There are no real solutions.

Step-by-step explanation:

3x−8=3(x−3)−2

3x+−8=(3)(x)+(3)(−3)+−2

3x+−8=3x+−9+−2

3x−8=(3x)+(−9+−2)

3x−8=3x+−11

3x−8=3x−11

Step 2: Subtract 3x from both sides.

3x−8−3x=3x−11−3x

−8=−11

Step 3: Add 8 to both sides.

−8+8=−11+8

0=−3
