Solve the equation: 6(x-2) -2x = 4x *
1 point
x= -12
x = 0
-12=0 no solution
but anyway... how is your day today? mines going great! well, have a great year!
6 x - 12 -2 x = 4 x
4 x - 12 = 4x
0 = -12, pretty strange x all right
thanks!
To solve the equation 6(x-2) - 2x = 4x, you need to simplify the equation and isolate the variable x.
Step 1: Distribute the 6 to the terms within the parentheses.
6(x-2) - 2x = 4x
6x - 12 - 2x = 4x
Step 2: Combine like terms on the left side of the equation.
(6x - 2x) - 12 = 4x
4x - 12 = 4x
Step 3: Get rid of the variables on one side by moving them to the other side. In this case, we want to isolate x, so let's move the 4x from the right side to the left side.
4x - 4x - 12 = 4x - 4x
-12 = 0
Step 4: The equation simplifies to -12 = 0, which is a contradiction. This means that the equation has no solution. Therefore, the correct answer is "no solution."
