8x plus 4 equals 4x plus 5?

Answer 1

4x+5 = 8x+10

But you are saying

4x+5 = 8x+4

If this were the case, 8x+10 = 8x+4, and so 10=4

Thus there is no possible solution for X.

====================================

Honk! Go to your room.

8x + 4 = 4x + 5

Subtract 4x from each side:

4x + 4 = 5

Subtract 4 from each side:

4x = 1

Divide each side by 4:

x =1/4

Check:

Left side: 8x + 4 = 8/4 + 4 = 2 + 4 = 6

Right side: 4x + 5 = 4/4 + 5 = 1 + 5 = 6

6 = 6 yay!
