Question

Solve the following....
$2(x-3)=2x+4$

Answer 1

Answer:

No answer.  The question is not correct.  2x-6 cannot be equal to 2x+4

Step-by-step explanation:

2(x-3) = 2x+4

2x-6 = 2x+4

This can't be true.  2x-6 cannot be equal to 2x+4:

Subtract 2x from both sides and we are left with -6 = 4:  FALSE

Answer 2

Answer:

• no solution

Step-by-step explanation:

Taking the LHS and distributing

• 2(x - 3)
• 2(x) - 2(3)
• 2x - 6

Equating to the RHS

• 2x - 6 = 2x + 4

On inputting any value for x, this equation will not be correct.

Hence, it has no solution.
