Exercise 15 Page 26

Gather all of the variable terms on one side of the equation and all of the constant terms on the other side.

The equation has no solution.

Practice makes perfect

To solve an equation, we should first gather all of the variable terms on one side and all of the constant terms on the other, using the Properties of Equality. In this case, we start by using the Distributive Property to simplify the left-hand side of the equation.

4(g+8)=7+4g

Distr

Distribute 4

4g+32=7+4g

SubEqn

LHS-4g=RHS-4g

4g+32-4g=7+4g-4g

SubTerms

Subtract terms

32≠ 7

Simplifying the equation resulted in a contradiction. Therefore, the equation has no solution.
