Answer 1

Answer:

No solution

Step-by-step explanation:

1.Simplify

3(x+5)-3 = 2(3x+1) -3x

3x+15-3=6x+2-3x

2.Simplify

3x+12=3x+2

3. Combine like terms

3x-3x+12-2=3x-3x+-2

10 does not equal 0

No solution

Answer 2

Answer:

$\boxed{\boxed{\sf No\:Solution}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\sf 3\left(x+5\right)-3=2\left(3x+1\right)-3x$

Expand: Apply distributive property:

$\sf 3(x+5)-3$

• $\sf 3x+15-3$

• $\sf 3x+12$

$\sf 2(3x+1)$

• $\sf 3x+2$

$\sf 3x+12=3x+2$

Subtract 12 from both sides:

$\sf 3x+12-12=3x+2-12$

$\sf 3x=3x-10$

Subtract 3x from both sides:

$\sf 3x-3x=3x-10-3x$

$\sf 0=-10$

Sides are not equal, so therefore there is no Solution.
