Question

solve for x -6(2x-10)+12x=180

Answer 1

\[ -6(2x-10)+12x=180\] distribute the \(-6\) first
what do you get?

Answer 2

@satellite73 isnt the -6(2x-10) equals -12x or am i wrong

Answer 3

you are wrong
you need to do two multiplications

Answer 4

ooh i get it what grade level problem is this??

Answer 5

i got that its -12x-60+12x=180

Answer 6

i never learned this.

Answer 7

k good
now combine like terms

Answer 8

algebra 2 honors

Answer 9

Oh ok i only take 9th grade algebra 1 honors

Answer 10

then its... 0x=120 then what?

Answer 11

actually you get \(-60=180\) because \(12x-12x=0\)

Answer 12

Its not 0x=120
its just x = 120
am i wrong satellite?

Answer 13

no \(0x=0\)

Answer 14

so its just 120? or x=120

Answer 15

but its -12x+12x which is 0x

Answer 16

right

Answer 17

and \(0x=0\) right?

Answer 18

right

Answer 19

yeah so then that means its 0x=120

Answer 20

no, there is still a \(-60\) on the left

Answer 21

or 0=120

Answer 22

Oh right

Answer 23

actually \(-60=180\)

Answer 24

which of course is wrong, so there is no solution to this equation

Answer 25

does she have to simplify that or thats the official answer

Answer 26

oh okay so the answer is no solution? Thanks so much!
