To solve for x, we can start by simplifying the equation:
5(2x + 2) - 7x = 3x + 6
Distribute the 5 on the left side:
10x + 10 - 7x = 3x + 6
Combine like terms on both sides:
10x - 7x + 10 = 3x + 6
3x + 10 = 3x + 6
Subtract 3x from both sides to isolate the constant terms:
10 = 6
This equation is not possible as it results in a contradiction. 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
