Responses

The equation has no solution.
The equation has no solution.

The equation has one solution: x=6.
The equation has one solution: x equals 6 .

The equation has one solution: x=10.
The equation has one solution: x equals 10 .

The equation has infinite solutions.

Answer 1

To solve for x, we will simplify and combine like terms.

5(2x + 2) - 7x = 3x + 6

10x + 10 - 7x = 3x + 6

(10x - 7x - 3x) + (10 - 6) = 0

0x + 4 = 0

4 = 0

This equation is not possible since 4 does not equal 0. Therefore, the equation has no solution.
