Q. Solve the following equation for x x . Express your answer in the simplest form.\newline−(3x+8)=−3x−9 -(3 x+8)=-3 x-9 \newline
  1. Distribute negative sign: First, we need to distribute the negative sign on the left side of the equation.\newline−(3x+8)=−3x−9- (3x + 8) = -3x - 9\newlineThis gives us: −3x−8=−3x−9-3x - 8 = -3x - 9
  2. Add and isolate variable: Next, we observe that we have −3x-3x on both sides of the equation. If we add 3x3x to both sides, we can attempt to isolate the variable xx.\newline−3x−8+3x=−3x−9+3x-3x - 8 + 3x = -3x - 9 + 3x\newlineThis simplifies to: −8=−9-8 = -9
  3. Identify contradiction: We now see that −8-8 does not equal −9-9, which indicates that there is no solution for xx that would satisfy this equation. This is because we have arrived at a contradiction.
  4. Conclude inconsistency: Since we have determined that there is no solution, we can conclude that the equation is inconsistent and does not have a value for xx that would make it true.
