Question

How do you solve `-2(x + 3) = -2(x + 1) - 4`?

Answer 1

`x` can be any real number
`" "`
`x in RR`

Explanation:

`-2 (x+3) = -2 (x+1) -4`
`" "`
`rArr-2×x-2×3 = -2×x-2×1-4`
`" "`
`rArr-2x-6 = -2x-2-4`
`" "`
`rArr-2x-6 = -2x-6`
`" "`
`rArr-2x+2x = -6+6`
`" "`
`rArr0.x = 0`
`" "`
`x` can be any real number
`" "`
`therefore x in RR`
