Question

How do you solve `2x+1=2x+2`?

Answer 1

The problem is incorrectly stated – it is not an equality.

Explanation:

Move all of the constants to one side of the equation with algebraic operations.
Subtract 1 from both sides:
`2x+1 – 1 =2x+2 – 1 ; 2x = 2x + 1`
At this point you can see that it CANNOT be an equality. One or more of your terms are incorrect.
