Question

Solve and verify:
$3(x - 1) + 2(2x - 2) = 2(x + 3) + 2$
​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

$lhs \\ 3(x - 1) + 2(2x - 2) \\ 3x - 3 + 4x - 4 \\ 7x - 7 \\ 7x = 7 \\ x = \frac{7}{7} \\ x = 1 \\ \\ \\ \\ rhs \\ \\ 2(x + 3) + 2 \\ 2x + 6 + 2 \\ 2x + 8 \\ 2x = - 8 \\ x = \frac{ - 8}{2} \\ x = - 4 \\ \\ \\ so \: lhs \: and \: rhs \: not \: equal \:$
