Select the correct answer. Which statement is true about this equation? - (2x + 4) + x = 3x - 4x - 4

no solutions

Step-by-step explanation:

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

Distribute

-2x - 4 + x = 3x - 4x - 4

Combine like terms

-x + 4 = - x - 4

Add x to each side

-x+x+4 = - x+x-4

4 = - 4

This is never true so there are no solutions

Infinite number of solutions

Step-by-step explanation:

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

-2x - 4 + x = - x - 4

-x - 4 = - x - 4

-4 = - 4

This equation remains true for all x,

Hence infinitely many solutions
