Answer:
2(x - 1) - 1 = 3(x + 1) - 6 - x
There are infinitely many solutions.
Step-by-step explanation:
Equations
Suppose Nicky was trying to solve the equation
2(x - 1) - 1 = 3(x + 1) - 6 - x
Operating:
2x - 2 - 1 = 3x + 3 - 6 - x
2x - 3 = 2x - 3
Subtracting 2x:
-3 = -3
This equation is true regardless of the value of x, thus x can have any value. There are infinitely many solutions.
The same result could have come with these equations:
4x - 3 = -3 + 4x
4(x - 1) + 1 = 4(x + 1) - 7
