solve for x
x-3(x-1)=6x-3-8x
a) infinite solutions
b)no solution
c)0
d)-1
(x-3)(x-1)=-2x-3
so I believe from the information given the answer would be b) no solution.
Is this correct?
correct
but, (x-3)(x-1)=-2x-3 is not the same equation.
Why is it not the same
I 6x-8x=-2x
so that is how I got
(x-3)(x-1)=-2x-3
but both ways are no solution.
Thanks for checking my work
To solve the equation x - 3(x - 1) = 6x - 3 - 8x, we first simplify both sides of the equation:
x - 3x + 3 = 6x - 8x - 3.
Combining like terms gives us:
-2x + 3 = -2x - 3.
To isolate x, let's subtract -2x from both sides, which gives:
2x - 2x + 3 = -3.
Simplifying further:
3 = -3.
However, we can see that 3 is not equal to -3. Therefore, there is no solution to this equation.
So your answer of b) no solution is correct.
