Asked by Gwen

Describe the number of solutions for the equation.
-2(x-1)=2x-2
A. Infinite solutions
B. One solution
C. No solution
Is the answer B?
Answered by Ms. Sue
What is the solution?

Do you have a book for math?

Answered by jordan
i calculate one solution through -2(x-1) = 2x-2 expand the brackets giving you 2x-2 -2(x) makes 2x then -1 x -2 = -2 add the equation together gives you 2x-2
Answered by Gwen
Ms. Sue if I had a book I wouldn't need help, I don't mean this to be disrespectful.
Answered by Gwen
So one solution then?
Answered by Ms. Sue
No math book? No history book?

You are not getting an education.

What is the name of your school?

Answered by Gwen
I don't want to get in trouble with my school so I feel it would be best if I don't answer that. I feel like you are mad at me.
Answered by Ms. Sue
I'm disappointed that a school would expect students to learn without a book. Jiskha tutors are not employed by any school. We volunteer to help students, not provide a substantial amount of their education.

Answered by Gwen
I'm sorry that I am bothering you.
Answered by Brady
Gwen, are you home-schooled, and taking Common Core classes?
Answered by Brady
I get why you don't have books if you have Common Core classes. I also don't have books, but I have information from my school site Edgenuity.
Answered by Gwen
Well, I don't go to the same school you do. I thought this was to help with my homework but I just get yelled at.
Answered by Brady
Most teachers and tutors on here think that most students (like you and me) should have books because it will help better in classes. Plus, if you are ever unsure about a question, you can look at the back of the book for the answer and explanation on how to do it. They also provide good info on topics each person is studying.

P.S. I don't think Ms. Sue was yelling at you, she's just frustrated that you don't have any books to help you with your education about each subject you study.

If you solve for x in that equation, how many solutions do you get: SOlve it, then which is true...
one, two, infinite, none?
Answered by Brady
Also, I agree with your answer of B. In this problem, x = 1.
