Provided below is the solution to the equation 3(−2 − 3x) = −9x − 4. Choose the statement that is true about the given solution. 3(−2 − 3x) = −9x − 4 −6 − 9x = −9x − 4 −6 + 0x = −4 0x = 2 0 = 2 The final solution is best described as "Any Real Number." The provided solution is incorrect. The final solution is best described as "No Solution." The final solution is best described as x = 2.

@Itinson, try solving the problem algebraically on your own to convince yourself of the correct result.

OpenStudy (dumbsearch2):

OK, I cleared up my answer a bit.
