Create your own two-step equation with All Real Numbers as the solution. Show the steps to solving the equation to prove the solution All Real Numbers. My answer is: -2(x + 3) = -2(x + 1) - 4 -2x-6 =-2x-2-4 -2x-6=-2x-6 -2x=-2x x=-2x/-2 Is this right?

I think...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

are there other options or just that one?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

There were no options, I had to come up with one

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hmmm

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Well, this problem is a case in which \(\ \Huge x=All Real Numbers \).

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Lol so is it correct?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yeah im not sure...sorry!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

One moment...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok :)

So, what you have is mostly correct. |dw:1351659038210:dw| Because we have the same expressions on both sides of the equation sign, x could be any real number, and the equation would render true. Does that make sense?
