Question

How do you solve `-x + 5 + 6 x = 1 + 5 x + 3`?

Answer 1

See solution process below

Explanation:

`-x + 5 + 6x = 1 + 5x + 3`

Simplifying;

`-x + 6x + 5 = 1 + 3 + 5x`

`5x + 5 = 4 + 5x`

Collecting like terms;

`5x - 5x = 5 - 4`

`0 = 1`

The question is not valid..

Answer 2

Equation has no solution

Explanation:

If we simplify our like terms to begin with, we get

`5x+5=5x+4`

The variable terms cancel, and we're left with

`cancel(5x)+5=cancel(5x)+4`

`=>5=4`

This is obviously not true, so we would say this equation has no solutions. We achieved a weird result that somehow `5` is equal to `4`. This means that there are no values of `x` that will ever make this true.

Hope this helps!
