Question

Drag and drop the correct steps to solve the equation for x. Make sure to put the steps in order. Not all steps listed will be used.

2(x - 4) - 2x = 2x - 10

O 8 = 2x - 10
O - 8 = 2x - 10
O 2 = 2x
O 2x + 8 - 2x = 2x - 10
O 2x - 8 - 2x = 2x - 10
O 18 = 2x
O x = 9
O x = 1

Answer 1

1. 2(x - 4) - 2x = 2x - 10
2. Distribute the 2: 2x - 8 - 2x = 2x - 10
3. Combine like terms: -8 = -10
4. Add 8 to both sides: -8 + 8 = -10 + 8
5. Simplify: 0 = -2
6. This equation has no solution.
