solve for x to determine if the equation has one, none, or infinite solutions

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

1 answer

To solve for x, first distribute the 5 into the parentheses:

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

Now combine like terms:

3x + 10 = 3x + 6

Next, subtract 3x from both sides:

10 = 6

Since this equation is not true, it means that there are no solutions for x in this equation.
