3x=3(x-4)+12

OpenStudy (anonymous):

a x=8 b x=0 c x= infinitely many solutions d x= no solution

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Any ideas

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Subtract 3 from both sides?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No I think thats wrong

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its 3times x so its 3x then x times -4 + 12

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I have no idea

OpenStudy (anonymous):

First distribute the 3 to the x and -4 3(x-4) = 3*x + 3*-4

You sure??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@Lila.hasipi Try solving it see what you get, do what blufoot is doing up top!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

YES

OpenStudy (anonymous):

3x=3(x-4)+12 3x = 3x - 12 +12 3x = 3x Infinite solutions! They were wrong

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Because x could be anything, and 3x will always equal 3x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

TOUCHE
