No

Answer 5

Is there a way you can show what it's asking, please?

Answer 6

I think we're just solving \(5(- 3x - 2) - (x - 3) = -4(4x + 5) + 13\)

Answer 7

Please provide how you got your answer.

Answer 11

\(5(−3x−2)−(x−3)=−4(4x+5)+13\)

Simplify, both sides and distribute the`-` sign,
\(5(−3x−2)+−1(x−3)=−4(4x+5)+13\)
\(5(−3x−2)+−1x+(−1)(−3)=−4(4x+5)+13\)
\(5(−3x−2)+−x+3=−4(4x+5)+13\)

Distribute:
\((5)(−3x)+(5)(−2)+−x+3=(−4)(4x)+(−4)(5)+13\)
\(−15x+−10+−x+3=−16x+−20+13\)

Combine the like terms:
\((−15x+−x)+(−10+3)=(−16x)+(−20+13)\)
\(−16x+−7=−16x+−7\)
\(−16x−7=−16x−7\)

\(+16x\) to both sides
\(−16x−7+16x=−16x−7+16x=\)
\(−7+7=−7+7\)
\(0=0\), true

Answer 12

^ i got mine the same way

Answer 13

However, that would only mean all real numbers are solutions.

I know. Thanks.

Answer 15

Yes, I was explaining to @sddqdqd since their answer was infinitely many solutions.

Answer 16

since both sides equal, there are infinitely many solutions.
