Question

determine the number of solutions of this equasion. show your work and explain your reasoning. 7x+5=2(4x+3)

Answer 1

X = -1

Explanation:

1. expand the right side of the equation

8x + 6

7x + 5 = 8x + 6 should look like this

2. minus 7x on both sides

5 = 1x + 6 should look like this

3. minus 6 on both sides

-1 = 1x should look like this

4. divide by 1 from the x on both sides

-1 = x this is the only answer for this equation
