Can someone answer this math question ! : ){for me: question 49}

Hi there! :)

The solution to the given equation is: infinitely many solutions

Step-by-step explanation:

-7(4x - 6) - 3 = 14(-2x + 4) - 17

Add "3" to each side of the equation: -17 + 3 = -14

-7(4x - 6) = 14(-2x + 4) - 14

Distribute the "-7" to the entire parentheses: -7 × 4x = -28x  //  -7 × -6 = 42

Distribute the "14" to the entire parentheses: 14 × -2x = -28x  //  14 × 4 = 56

-28x + 42 = -28x + 56 - 14

Subtract "42" from each side of the equation: (56 - 14) - 42 = 0

-28x = -28x

Since both sides are equal to each other, any different value of "x" will make this equation true. This means you have infinite solutions to this equation.

There you go! I really hope this helped, if there's anything just let me know! :)
