solve 5(x-7)=3(x-2)+2x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Distribute the 5 and 3 then solve 5x-35=3x-6+2x ...This problem does not make sense. -35 does not equal -6 Are you sure the above is correct?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes so the statement is false

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok then you can say that the equation is false and therefore no value of x makes the statement true.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[5x-35=3x-6+2x\] on solving this the variable x eliminates & e get 35=6 which is wrong so for no values of x the equation holds or in other words x is not definedin this equation

got it
