Question

How many solutions does the equation have? x + 9 + 2x = 3x + 11

Answer 1

no solutions

Explanation:

Given

x + 9 + 2x = 3x + 11, that is

3x + 9 = 3x + 11 ( subtract 9 from both sides )

3x = 3x + 2 ( subtract 3x from both sides )

0 = 2 ← not possible

This indicates that the equation has no solutions
