First we have to simplify the entire equation:
-4 ( x + 1) = 2 (1 - 2x) - 6 Now you have to distribute the numbers in front of the ( )
(-4x) - 4 = 2 - 4x - 6 now just simplify
(-4x) - 4 = (-4) - 4x just reverse the left side
(-4x) - 4 = (-4x) - 4 they are identical, which means:
The answer is C. All real numbers are solutions.
That's because no matter what number you substitute x for, the equation will remain identical on both sides. Hope that helped!
