2x=2(x-3)

OpenStudy (abb0t):

1. distribute the 2 across the parenthesis What are you trying to do? Solve for "x"??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

have to solve each equation then check the solution

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A little bit easier is to divide both sides by 2 to get: x = x - 3 Subtract x from both sides: 0 = -3 And since that is impossible, we know there is no solution to the equation.
