4 (2x - 1) = 8x + 10

1 answer

To solve the equation, we need to distribute the 4 to both terms inside the parentheses:

4(2x - 1) = 8x + 10

8x - 4 = 8x + 10

Next, we want to isolate the variable terms. To do this, we'll move the 8x term to the left side of the equation and the -4 term to the right side:

8x - 8x - 4 = 8x - 8x + 10

-4 = 10

The equation -4 = 10 is not true, so there is no solution to the equation.
