Accepted Solution
A:
Answer:3xStep-by-step explanation:-(x-1) +5 = 2(x+3) - cC is the unknown termDistribute the negative sign and the 2-x+1 +5 = 2x+6 -cCombine like terms-x+6 = 2x +6-cSolve for cAdd x to each side-x+x +6 = 2x+x +6-c6 = 3x+6 -cAdd c to each side6+c = 3x +6 -c+cc+6 = 3x+6Subtract 6 from each sidec+6-6 = 3x+6-6c = 3xWhen c = 3x, the two sides of the equation are equal, and the solutions are infinite.
