‎3(2x -4)=2(3x-5)

So on the car forum i meander about, this "equation" started a 10 page argument, lets see how everyone does here

:P

‎3(2x -4)=2(3x-5)

3(2x-4)=2(3x-5)

3(2x-4)=2(3x-5)
3(x-2)=(3x-5) Divide both sides by 2
3x-6=3x-5 Simplify
-6=-5 Subtrack 3x from each side
6=5 Multiply both sides by -1
No solution exists.

The world is a mess and I just ... need to rule it.

First answer this:

First answer this:

Let's say I have an unknown quantity, 'x'.

Now let's say I subtract one from x and set that equal to subtracting two from x. That would be represented as such:

x-1 = x-2

Well, you would say right away, they're not equal. If you take one away from a number, it's going to be different than taking away 2 from the same number. It's not an equality, it's an inequality. The equation should be:

x-1 > x-2

Because if you subtract x from both sides, you get:

-1 > -2

Not equal.

Same with the OP:

3(2x -4)=2(3x-5)
6x - 12 = 6x - 20
x - 2 = x - 2 2/3
-2 = - 2 2/3

That's not right. It should be:

-2 > -2 2/3

The original equation was set up as in inequality but with an equals sign. Wrong.

Really suck at math I still sometimes count on my fingers to answer the math question on the forum. Don't always get it right either...
