To solve for x, we can start by simplifying the equation:
5(2x+2) - 7x = 3x + 6
Distribute the 5:
10x + 10 - 7x = 3x + 6
Combine like terms:
3x + 10 = 3x + 6
Subtract 3x from both sides:
10 = 6
This is a contradiction, as 10 cannot equal 6. Therefore, the equation has no solution.
Solve for x to determine if the equation has one, none, or infinite solutions.
5(2x+2)−7x=3x+6(1 point)
