Equations and Inequations
Equations and inequalities describe the relationship between two mathematical expressions.
Linear Functions
A linear function can just be a constant, or it can be the constant multiplied with the variable like x or y. If the variables are of the form, x2, x1/2 or y2 it is not linear. The exponent over the variables should always be 1.

Answer to Problem 11CR

There is no solution of the equation.

Explanation of Solution

Given information:

The equation is 3+2x=2(2+x) .

Calculation:

The solution of the equation is:

  3+2x=2(2+x)                 (Write original equation)3+2x=4+2x                     (Use distributive property)3+2x−3=4+2x−3          (Subtract 3 from each sides)  2x=2x+1                          (Simplify)  )

Observed that 2x=2x+1  is not true because the number cannot be 1 more than itself. The equation has no solution.

To check continue solving the equation.

  2x−2x=2x+1−2x     (Subtract 2x from each side)0=1                             (Simplify)

The statement 0=1 is not true so the equation has no solution.

Hence,

The provided equation has no solution.
