To solve for x, first distribute the 5 into the parentheses:
10x + 10 - 7x = 3x + 6
Now combine like terms:
3x + 10 = 3x + 6
Next, subtract 3x from both sides:
10 = 6
Since this equation is not true, it means that there are no solutions for x in this equation.
solve for x to determine if the equation has one, none, or infinite solutions
5 (2x + 2) - 7x = 3x + 6
