4x + 8 = 2x + 7 + 2x - 20 can somebody me solve this and show me the steps you used
4x + 8 = 2x + 7 + 2x - 20 can somebody me solve this and show me the steps you used and can you tell me if it has no solutions,one solution,or infinite solutions?
We know this problem has no solution because if you subtract 4x from each side you will get 8=-13 and that is impossible.
Therefore there are no solutions

4x+8=2x+7+2x-20 4x+8=4x-13 4x+8-4x=4x-13-4x 8=-13
8 is not equal to -13 Therefore, there is no solution.

4(2x + 3) = 2(3x - 4) 8x + 12 = 6x - 8 8x - 6x = -8 - 12 2x = - 20 x = -20/2 x = -10if u get a variable equal to a number, then there is 1 solution
if u would have ended up with 0 = 0 or 5 = 5...or something that is equal, then there would be infinite solutions. if u would have ended up with 2 = 3, or 5 = 7...or something unequal, then there would have been no solution.
