Question

What is the solution to -6x+3=3x+2-9x ?

what is the solution to the problem?

Answer 1

There is no solution. Bummer!

Explanation:

Add or subtract multiples of `x` to both sidesuntil only one term with `x` is left. Then do the same with the constant terms. Let's see what happens:

`-6x+3=3x+2-9x`

Add `9x`:

`3x+3=3x+2`

Subtract `3x`:

`color(red)(3=2)`

We thought we were going to get a term with `x` left over but instead, they all canceled out. What's left has no solution!
