Question

Someone please help me It’s getting late and it’s due tomorrow

Explain why the equation
1- x= 5(x - 4) - 6x has no solution.

Answer 1

After the distribution of the 5 and the addition of x to both sides, the x variable is cancelled out leaving 1 = - 20.

This statement is false. Hence, no solution

Explanation:

1 - x = 5(x - 4) - 6x (Distribute 5)

1 - x = 5x - 20 - 6x (Combine like terms)

1 - x = -x - 20 add x to both sides

1 = - 20 False
