Question

Help! How do I solve this? (Equations algebra 1)

2x=2(x-3)

Answer 1

easy divide both sides by 2

Answer 2

Distribute the 2 to the x and 3 then you will have 2x and 6 and then add the 2x and the other 2x and then divide -6 by 4 and then its x= -1.5

Answer 3

2x=2(x-3)

2x=2x-6 ... distribute

2x - 2x = 2x - 6 - 2x ... Subtract 2x from both sides.

0x = 0x - 6

0 = 0 - 6

0 = -6

this is a contradiction which is never true

so there are no solutions
