To solve for x, we first need to simplify the equation:
5(2x + 2) - 7x = 3x + 6
10x + 10 - 7x = 3x + 6
3x + 10 = 3x + 6
Now we can see that the variable x is being eliminated since it appears on both sides of the equation.
Subtracting 3x from both sides, we get:
10 = 6
This is a false statement, which means there are no solutions to the equation.
Solve for x to determine if the equation has one, none, or infinite solutions.
5(2x+2)−7x=3x+6
