Question

6 (-2x+1)= -3(4x+2) last equation I don't understand.

Answer 1

Simply multiply out and rearrange.
What problems are you having with it?

Answer 2

Yes I know but when I do that I get a final answer of 6= -6 which is false. Is there no solution to the problem?

Answer 3

you're correct....
if you simplify to a statement that "does not make sense", then there is no solution to that equation:

6 = -6 does not make sense so no solution.

Answer 4

in this type of equations you should Simplify like this :
\[-12x+6=-12x-6\]
\[6=-6\]
that's mean that the equation is imposible ......

Answer 5

6 (-2x+1)= -3(4x+2) should expand like this -12+6=-12-6 is impossible
