Lin was looking at the equation 2x - 32 + 4 (3x - 2462) = 14x.

She said, "I can tell right away there are no solutions, because on the left side, you will have 2x + 12x and a bunch of constants, but you have just 14x on the right side." Do you agree with Lin?

    Answer: Lin is correct but her thinking is wrong.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    2x-32+4 (3x-2462) = 14x

    First solve parentheses: 2x-32+12x-9842=14x (you distribute the 4).

    Then add common factors on the same side of the equal signs:

    14x-9880=14x

    When solving for x you would subtract 14x giving you:

    -9880=0 which would never be true.
