Solve:

-2x+7+8x=2+6x+5

Identity (infinite solutions)
No solution

1 answer

To solve the equation, we will combine like terms and then isolate the variable on one side of the equation:

-2x + 7 + 8x = 2 + 6x + 5

Combine like terms:
6x + 7 = 7 + 6x

Subtract 6x from both sides:
6x - 6x + 7 = 7 + 6x - 6x

7 = 7

Both sides of the equation are equal. This equation represents an identity, which means it has infinite solutions.
