Question

PLEASE HELP!!! 3x - x - 5 = 2(x+2)-9

Answer 1

Infinite Solutions

Explanation:

To solve for this problem, we want to isolate x on one side of the equation.

Apply the distributive property on the right side:

`3x - x - 5 = 2x+4 -9`

Combine like terms:

`2x - 5 = 2x - 5`

Woah, we have the exact same thing on both sides of the equation. This means that we have infinite solutions, aka any value of x will satisfy this equation.

Test it out! Any value of x, whether its 1, 5, or 10000 will satisfy the equation.

So this has infinite solutions.

Hope this helped!
