How many solutions does 2 + 7x= 4x+3+3x-8 have?
OA. Two solutions
B. Infinitely many solutions
OC. No solutions
OD. One solution

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation: (Do not read this if it is a test)

Hello! 2 + 7x = 4x + 3 + 3x - 8. How you first want to do this is to solve for x. 7x + 2 = 4x + 3 + 3x - 8. Simplify the like terms. 7x + 2 = 4x + 3x + 3 - 8 is also equal to 7x + 2 = 7x - 5. Subtract 2 from both sides. 7x = 7x - 7. Divide both sides by 7. 7x/7 = 7x/7 - 7/7. The answer is x = x - 1. There is no solution because x cannot equal x minus 1. An example of this is 3 cannot equal 3 - 1 or 2. 3 does not equal 2. The answer is C.
