solve the equation
9(x-4)+x=10(x-4)+4
x = 2
expand
9x - 36 + x = 10x - 40 + 4
put like terms on the same side
9x + x - 10x = 36 - 40 + 4
simplify
0=0
Well your question doesn't make sense.
To solve the given equation 9(x-4) + x = 10(x-4) + 4, we will simplify both sides of the equation step by step and solve for the unknown variable x.
Let's start by applying the distributive property on both sides of the equation:
9(x-4) + x = 10(x-4) + 4
9x - 36 + x = 10x - 40 + 4
Now, combine like terms on each side of the equation:
(9x + x) - 36 = (10x - 40) + 4
10x - 36 = 10x - 36
Notice that we have the same terms (10x) on both sides of the equation. However, on the right side, we have -36 + 4.
Next, let's simplify further:
10x - 36 = 10x - 32
Now, subtract 10x from both sides to eliminate the x term on each side:
10x - 10x - 36 = 10x - 10x - 32
-36 = -32
The equation -36 = -32 is not true. In fact, -36 is not equal to -32. Therefore, there is no solution to this equation.
