Do You Know How?
4. How many solutions does the equation
3(2.4x+4)= 4.1x+7+ 3.1x have? Explain.

Respuesta :

The equation given is 3(2.4x + 4) = 4.1x + 7 + 3.1x. To solve this equation, we first distribute the 3 on the left side to get 7.2x + 12 = 4.1x + 7 + 3.1x. Next, we combine like terms to simplify the equation: 7.2x + 12 = 7.2x + 7. After that, we subtract 7.2x from both sides to get 12 = 7, which is an untrue statement. Since the equation leads to an untrue statement, 12 = 7, it means that there are no solutions to this equation. In conclusion, the given equation 3(2.4x + 4) = 4.1x + 7 + 3.1x has no solutions because it results in a contradiction, showing that the equation is inconsistent and does not have a valid solution.
