Tell how many solutions the following equation has.

5(x - 3) + 6 = 5x -10

1 answer

The equation is:

5(x - 3) + 6 = 5x - 10

Simplifying both sides of the equation:
5x - 15 + 6 = 5x - 10
5x - 9 = 5x - 10

Now, let's isolate x to see if there is a solution:
5x - 5x = -10 +9
0 = -1

Since the equation 0 = -1 is not true, there is no solution to the given equation.
