Question

How many solutions does the following equation have? 14(z+3)=14z+21

Answer 1

No solution

Explanation:

First, We have to simplify the right side.

Distribute 14, 14z+42.

Now the equation stands as 14z+42=14z+21

Subtract 14z from both sides,

this makes it 42=21.

We know when the solution is #=#, our answer is no solution.

Answer 2

No solutions

Explanation:

14(z + 3) = 14z + 21

Expand brackets.

14z + 42 = 14z + 21

Subtract 14z on both sides.

42 = 21

There are no solutions.
