To determine the number of solutions for the linear equation
\[ \frac{10(x+6)}{2} - 9 = \frac{15x+1}{3} - 8, \]
we can start by simplifying both sides of the equation.
First, simplify the left side:
\[ \frac{10(x+6)}{2} = 5(x+6) = 5x + 30. \] Thus, the left side becomes: \[ 5x + 30 - 9 = 5x + 21. \]
Now simplify the right side:
\[ \frac{15x+1}{3} = 5x + \frac{1}{3}. \] Thus, the right side becomes: \[ 5x + \frac{1}{3} - 8 = 5x + \frac{1}{3} - \frac{24}{3} = 5x - \frac{23}{3}. \]
Now we have the simplified equation:
\[ 5x + 21 = 5x - \frac{23}{3}. \]
Next, we can subtract \(5x\) from both sides:
\[ 21 = -\frac{23}{3}. \]
Now we need to determine if this statement is true. The statement \(21 = -\frac{23}{3}\) is false, because \(21\) is a positive integer while \(-\frac{23}{3}\) is a negative fraction.
Since the equation results in a false statement, it indicates that there are no values of \(x\) that can satisfy the original equation.
Thus, the answer is:
A) no solutions.
