4x+3+3x=8x+3-x

Parth (parthkohli):

4x + 3 + 3x = 8x + 3 - x 4x + 3x = 8x - x 7x = 7x x = x

If it is identify all real numbers, or a contradiction, no solution, so state.

What happens to the two 3's not mentioned in your answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

they will get canceled jlamphere

Parth (parthkohli):

I subtracted both sides by 3.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

3 + 3x = 4x + 3 - x 3 + 2x = 4x + 3- 2x = 4x then x = 0

OpenStudy (anonymous):

he just took one three from one side to other side which became negative and subtracted the other positive three

Parth (parthkohli):

@WAHEEDAHMED You're right! :) On the contrary, we can also do functions with like terms on both the sides of an equations with the same sign. Example: 5- 4x = 4 - 5x [Subtract 5 from both sides] -4x = -1 - 5x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so wouldn't it be x=0

OpenStudy (anonymous):

parth kohli u are perfectly right.....

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so its x=x and not x=0
