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

5(2x+2)−7x=3x+6(1 point)

1 answer

First, distribute the 5 and 6 to simplify the equation:

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

Combine like terms:

3x + 10 = 3x + 6

Subtract 3x from both sides:

10 = 6

Since this equation is a contradiction (10 does not equal 6), there is no solution.
