solve the following equation for x. express your answer in the simplest form.
-(-4x + 5) = 4x - 6
answer attempt 1 out of 2
the equation has

Explanation:

Step1: Simplify left side

Using the distributive property $-(-a + b)=a - b$, we have $-(-4x + 5)=4x - 5$. So the equation becomes $4x - 5 = 4x - 6$.

Step2: Subtract \(4x\) from both sides

Subtract \(4x\) from each side: \(4x - 5 - 4x=4x - 6 - 4x\). This simplifies to \(-5=-6\).

Answer:

The equation has no solution (since \(-5 = -6\) is a false statement).
