try solving it by firstly opening the brackets on both sides

pinklion23 · Answer

but that would change the whole solution :/

firekat97 · Answer

how so?

firekat97 · Answer

You can open it up and try moving everything to one side, and letting the other side equal to zero

pinklion23 · Answer

well by doing that i would also get different answers but i think you could be right on both things so then the answer would be B would it not?

firekat97 · Answer

umm I don't think so...
so what I mean is this..
you would open the brackets up on both sides to get..
4x + 10 = 4x + 12

do you see what I did? And do you see the problem we now face?
