How many solutions does this equation have?

7t - 5 = -3 + 7t

1 answer

To determine how many solutions the equation \(7t - 5 = -3 + 7t\) has, let's simplify it step by step.

First, we start with the original equation:

\[ 7t - 5 = -3 + 7t \]

Next, we subtract \(7t\) from both sides of the equation:

\[ 7t - 5 - 7t = -3 + 7t - 7t \]

This simplifies to:

\[ -5 = -3 \]

The equation \(-5 = -3\) is false. Since we arrived at a false statement, it indicates that the original equation has no solutions.

Thus, the final conclusion is:

\[ \text{The equation has no solutions.} \]
