Given x + 5x + 4 = 3(2x - 1)
Combine like terms on left-hand side of the equation, and distribute 3 into (2x -1):
6x + 4 = 6x - 3
Subtract from both sides:
6x + 4 - 4 = 6x - 3 - 4
6x = 6x - 7
Subtract 6x from both sides:
6x - 6x = 6x - 7 - 6x
0 = -7 ( a false statement).
Therefore, the solution cannot be determined.
