Question

Which of the following best describes the equation below? 3(x + 9) + 6x = 9x - 27 A. no real solutions B. exactly one real solution, x = -1 C. exactly one real solution, x = D. infinite real solutions

Answer 1

no solutions

Explanation:

3(x + 9) + 6x = 9x - 27

Distribute

3x+27 +6x = 9x -27

Combine like terms

9x +27 = 9x -27

Subtract 9x from each side

27 = -27

This is never true so there are no solutions
