Question

− 3 − 2(6 − 2x) = 2(2x − 5)

Answer 1

Solve step-by-step:

- Expand both sides:
−3 − 2(6 − 2x) = −3 − 12 + 4x = 4x − 15
2(2x − 5) = 4x − 10

- Equate and simplify:
4x − 15 = 4x − 10
Subtract 4x from both sides: −15 = −10

This is a contradiction, so there is no solution. (Solution set: ∅.)
