Answer :
Answer: does not work
Step-by-step explanation: Simplifying
8x + 10 + 2x + 4x + 8 + -6 = 2(7x + 18)
Reorder the terms:
10 + 8 + -6 + 8x + 2x + 4x = 2(7x + 18)
Combine like terms: 10 + 8 = 18
18 + -6 + 8x + 2x + 4x = 2(7x + 18)
Combine like terms: 18 + -6 = 12
12 + 8x + 2x + 4x = 2(7x + 18)
Combine like terms: 8x + 2x = 10x
12 + 10x + 4x = 2(7x + 18)
Combine like terms: 10x + 4x = 14x
12 + 14x = 2(7x + 18)
Reorder the terms:
12 + 14x = 2(18 + 7x)
12 + 14x = (18 * 2 + 7x * 2)
12 + 14x = (36 + 14x)
Add '-14x' to each side of the equation.
12 + 14x + -14x = 36 + 14x + -14x
Combine like terms: 14x + -14x = 0
12 + 0 = 36 + 14x + -14x
12 = 36 + 14x + -14x
Combine like terms: 14x + -14x = 0
12 = 36 + 0
12 = 36
Solving
12 = 36
Couldn't find a variable to solve for.
This equation is invalid, the left and right sides are not equal, therefore there is no solution.
