Question

How many solutions does this equation have?

a + 3 + 2a = -1 + 3a + 4

Answer 1

-8a+4 im pretty sure

Answer 2

Answer: There are infinitely many solutions of this equation.

Explanation:

The given equation :
`a + 3 + 2a = -1 + 3a + 4`

First we try to solve the above equation by combining the like terms (by reordering them), we get

`3a+3=3a+3`

Subtracting 3a from both sides (by using subtracting property of equality), we get

`3=3`, which is absolutely a correct fact.

That means, the equation has infinitely many solutions as a can take any real value .

Thus , there are infinitely many solutions of this equation.
