Question

How many solutions does 3 ( x + 2 ) =3x + 1 have

Answer 1

Zero

Explanation:

Let's solve the equation first.

For now, I will focus on the LHS and simplify that:

3(x + 2) = 3x + 1

3x + 6 = 3x + 1

Rearrange

3x - 3x = 1 - 6

Simplify

0x = -5

0 = -5 which isn't true

So 3(x + 2) = 3x + 1 has 0 solutions.

Answer 2

There are 0 solutions
