To find the number of solutions, we need to solve the equation 3x + 18 = 5x + 8.
Start by subtracting 3x from both sides of the equation: 18 = 2x + 8.
Next, subtract 8 from both sides: 10 = 2x.
Finally, divide both sides by 2: 5 = x.
Thus, the equation has one solution, which is x = 5.
How many solutions does 3x+18=5x+8 have?
