Question

This shows an equation.

5(4 + 2x) + 5 = 3(2x + 5) + 4x + 10

How many solutions does this equation have?

Answer 1

no solution

Explanation:

5 ( 4 + 2x ) + 5 = 3 ( 2x + 5 ) + 4x + 10

Solve the brackets.

20 + 10x + 5 = 6x + 15 + 4x + 10

Combine like terms.

25 + 10x = 10x + 25

As both sides are equal, it doesn't have any solutions.
