The number of x's on both sides of the equation is different a≠b
The number of x's is the same on both sides of the equation, and the constant is different a=b, c1≠c2
The number of x's is the same on both sides of the equation and the constant is also the same a=b, c1=c2
Apologies for the confusion in my previous responses. You are correct. The equation ax + c1 = bx + c2, where a ≠ b, has one solution.
The number of x's on both sides of the equation is different a ≠ b
are you correct?
No, I apologize for the incorrect response. The correct answer is: The number of x's is the same on both sides of the equation and the constant is also the same a=b, c1=c2.

Order the steps for solving the equation: 2x−5=3(4x+5)
The correct order for solving the equation 2x - 5 = 3(4x + 5) is as follows:
Step 1: Distribute the 3 on the right-hand side of the equation: 2x - 5 = 12x + 15.
Step 2: Combine like terms on both sides of the equation: 2x - 12x = 15 + 5.
Step 3: Simplify the equation further: -10x = 20.
Step 4: Divide both sides of the equation by -10 to solve for x: x = -2.

Multiply both sides by x to get the "x" terms on the same side of the inequality: x−6<4
To solve the inequality x - 6 < x/4, a good first step is to subtract x/4 from both sides of the inequality to get the "x" terms on the same side:
x - 6 - x/4 < 0
The correct solution for the inequality is:
12x/4 - x/4 < 0
11x/4 < 0
Dividing both sides by 11/4 (or multiplying by 4/11) gives:
x < 0.

Multiply both sides by x to get the "x" terms on the same side of the inequality: x−6<4
Multiply both sides by x to get the "x" terms on the same side of the inequality: x−6<4
Divide both sides of the inequality by x to simplify: 1−6x<4
x<6
Divide both sides of the inequality by x to simplify: 1−6x<4
x<6
Divide both sides of the inequality by 4 to simplify: x4−32<x
Divide both sides of the inequality by 4 to simplify: x4−32<x
Multiply both sides by 4 to clear the inequality of fractions: 4x−24<x
Apologies for the confusion in my previous response. The correct first step to solve the inequality x - 6 < x/4 is to multiply both sides by 4 to clear the inequality of fractions:
4(x - 6) < x
The correct solution for the inequality is:
4x - 24 < x
Subtracting x from both sides gives:
3x - 24 < 0
Adding 24 to both sides gives:
3x < 24
Dividing both sides by 3 (since the coefficient of x is 3) gives:
x < 8.
