What is the answer to 3x - 9 equals 3 (x-5)​

No solution

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the solution to 3x - 9 equals 3(x - 5), we would have to solve for x.

First set the two expressions equal to each other.

3x - 9 = 3(x - 5)

Now we can distribute the 3 on the right side.

3x - 9 = 3x - (3 * 5)

Simplify

3x - 9 = 3x - 15

Now lets try to get x alone on one side of the equality. Subtract 3x from both sides to cancel out of 3x on the right side.

3x - 9 - 3x = 3x - 15 - 3x

-9 = -15

And as you may have realized, -9 does not equal -15.

Why did the x disappear? Why did we end up with -9 = -15 which is clearly a false statement? This is because the the lines y = 3x - 9 and y = 3(x - 15) are parallel. Thus, they will never intersect and the equality 3x - 9 = 3(x - 5) will have no solution.

So there is no solution.

I hope you find my answer to be helpful. Let me know if you have any questions. Happy studying.

none of the above.

for one of the equations to be used in the process, there has to be a term in the equation since squared is .

since there is only a term in the first equation, we cannot derive a from completing the square.

solving with completing the square
