To solve the equation, we will start by distributing 5 on the left side:
5(2x + 2) = 10x + 10
Now we will solve for x by combining like terms and simplifying:
10x + 10 - 7x = 3x + 6
Combining like terms on both sides:
10x - 7x - 3x = 6 - 10
Simplifying:
0x = -4
Since we have 0x on the left side, this equation is equivalent to 0 = -4, which is a false statement.
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
