To solve the equation, let's start by distributing the -5 on the left side:
-5(x - 1) = 5 - 5x
-5x + 5 = 5 - 5x
Now, let's simplify the equation:
-5x + 5 = 5 - 5x
Since the variable terms are on both sides of the equation, we can add 5x to both sides to eliminate the variable terms on the right side:
-5x + 5 + 5x = 5 - 5x + 5x
Combine like terms:
5 = 5
In this case, we obtained a true statement (5 = 5), which means that the equation holds true for any value of x. Therefore, the equation has an infinite number of solutions.
Solve and Determine if the equation has one, none or infinite solutions.
-5(x - 1) = 5 - 5x
