Answer: no solution
Step-by-step explanation:
First lets simplify
-2(x+3) + 2(x+4) = 24
-2x - 6 + 2x + 8 = 24
We can simplify this further by combining like terms
2=24 is the equation we get after combining like terms.
Since 2 is not equal to 24, the answer is no solution.
Answer:
NO SOLUTION
Step-by-step explanation:
[tex]-2(x+3)+2(x+4)=24\qquad\text{use the distributive property}\ a(b+c)=ab+ac\\\\(-2)(x)+(-2)(3)+(2)(x)+(2)(4)=24\\\\-2x-6+2x+8=24\qquad\text{combine like terms}\\\\(-2x+2x)+(-6+8)=24\\\\0+2=24\\\\2=24\qquad\bold{FALSE}\\\\\text{Conclusion:}\\\\\bold{NO\ SOLUTION}[/tex]
