How many solutions does 3(x + 5) – 3 = 2(3x + 1) – 3x have? Show your work.

There are no solution

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

3(x+5)−3=2(3x+1)−3x

(3)(x)+(3)(5)+−3=(2)(3x)+(2)(1)+−3x(Distribute)

3x+15+−3=6x+2+−3x

(3x)+(15+−3)=(6x+−3x)+(2)(Combine Like Terms)

3x+12=3x+2

3x+12=3x+2

Step 2: Subtract 3x from both sides.

3x+12−3x=3x+2−3x

12=2

Step 3: Subtract 12 from both sides.

12−12=2−12

0=−10

step-by-step explanation:

in standard form:

a= dictionaries

b= maps

you have to buy 3 dictionaries, so put a 3 next to the a (dictionaries) so that you can multiply them by each other.

a3+b= 60 (the amount of money you have)

we already know the cost of a=15 so replace a with $15

($15 x 3)+b=60

multiply 15 and 3 to get $45 and replace it with $45

45+b=60

and then replace b with 15 to get the total:

45+15=60

that means you have $15 left after buying 3 dictionaries.

15 divided by the cost of a map ($5) equals 3.

so you can buy 3 maps.

sorry if it was confusing!
