Question

Justify why −12(x−3)−52=−16 has one solution, infinitely many solutions, or no solution.

It has infinitely many solutions because the solution is in the form a=a.

It has one solution, because the solution is in the form x=a. The solution is x=−12.

It has no solution because the solution is in the form a=b.

It has one solution because the solution is in the form x=a. The solution is x=0.

The first option is correct. The equation −12(x−3)−52=−16 has one solution. The equation can be simplified as follows:

−12(x−3)−52=−16
−12x+36−52=−16
−12x−16=−16
−12x=0

Dividing both sides of the equation by -12, we get:

x = 0

Therefore, the equation has one solution, which is x = 0.
