6-26.

Solve for $x$ . Check your solutions, if possible. Graph your solutions on a number line.

$−2(4−3x)−6x=10$
Step 1(a):
Distribute the $−2$ .
$−8 + 6x − 6x = 10$
Step 2(a):
Simplify.
$−8=10$
Answer (a):
There is no solution to this equation, because $−8\ne10$ .

$\frac { x - 5 } { - 2 } = \frac { x - 1 } { - 3 }$
Hint (b):
Start by multiplying both sides by a common multiple to remove the fractions.
