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

11x=3(7×-1)-10×

1 answer

Let's solve the equation step by step:

The original equation is: \[ 11x = 3(7x - 1) - 10x \]

First, distribute \(3\) on the right side: \[ 11x = 3 \cdot 7x - 3 \cdot 1 - 10x \] \[ 11x = 21x - 3 - 10x \]

Now, combine like terms on the right side: \[ 11x = (21x - 10x) - 3 \] \[ 11x = 11x - 3 \]

Next, subtract \(11x\) from both sides: \[ 11x - 11x = 11x - 3 - 11x \] \[ 0 = -3 \]

The equation \(0 = -3\) is a contradiction, which means there are no solutions to the equation.

Therefore, the final answer is that the equation has none solutions.
