4(x – 1) – x = 3(x + 5) – 11

Sagot :

Answer:

no solution

Step-by-step explanation:

given the equation

4(x - 1) - x = 3(x + 5) - 11 ← distribute parenthesis on both sides and simplify

4x - 4 - x = 3x + 15 - 11

3x - 4 = 3x + 4 ( add 4 to both sides )

3x = 3x + 8 ( subtract 3x from both sides )

0 = 8 ← not possible

This situation indicates the equation has no solution

Answer:

no solution (the sides are NOT equal)

Step-by-step explanation:

start by expanding the brackets using the distributive law:

4(x-1) - x = 3(x+5) - 11

4x - 4 - x = 3x + 15 - 11

combine like terms on each side by adding/subtracting values to both sides:

4x - x - 3x = 15 - 11 + 4

combine like terms:

0 = 8

as the sides aren't equivalent there is no solution for this problem
