Solve the equation for t.

3t + 2 = 5(t – 2) – 2t + 8



Question 4 options:

Infinitely many solutions


x = 2


x = 3


No solution

Respuesta :

3t + 2 = 5(t – 2) – 2t + 8

Start by distributing...

3t + 2 = 5t - 10 - 2t + 8 

Combine like terms....

3t + 2  = 3t - 2

Subtract 3t from both sides 

2 = -2 

Since 2 is NOT equal to -2 there is no solution for this equation
the answer is not given. no solution
