To solve for x, we can start by simplifying the equation by multiplying the numbers outside the parentheses:
10x + 10 - 7x = 3x + 6
Next, we can combine like terms by moving the variables to one side of the equation and the constants to the other side:
10x - 7x - 3x = 6 - 10
-3x = -4
Now, we can solve for x by dividing both sides of the equation by -3:
x = (-4)/(-3)
x = 4/3
Since x is not a whole number, the equation has no solution.
Therefore, the correct answer is:
A. The equation has no solution.
Solve for x to determine if the equation has one, none, or infinite solutions.
5(2x+2)−7x=3x+6
A. The equation has no solution.
B. The equation has infinite solutions.
C. The equation has one solution: x=6.
D. The equation has one solution: x=10
