Answer:
No solution
Step-by-step explanation:
First we would have to see if anything has to be distributed and yes the 4 in the expression 4(x + 1) has to be distributed to the x and 1. So we would multiply the 4 by x and 1. Now we have 4x + 4 = 4x + 10. We have to get the x's on 1 side of the equation so we would do the inverse of one of the x's and we can only subtract. So we can subtract 4x on both sides. So now we have
4 = 10. That isn't a correct statement so there is no solution.
4 does not equal 10.
