Question

Solve 3x + 7 = 3(x - 2)

A: x= -13
B: x= 1
C: no solutions
D: infinitely Many solutions

Answer 1

$3x + 7 = 3(x - 2)\\\\3x+7=3x-6\\\\7=-6\\\\x\in\emptyset$

Answer 2

3x+7=3(x-2) Distribute the 3
3x+7=3x-6 Add 6 to both sides
3x+7+6=3x Add the 7 and 6
3x+13=3x Subtract 3x both sides
13=?

I would say no solution but it could also be infinitely many solutions
