To solve the given equation, we simplify both sides:
5(2x + 2) - 7x = 3x + 6
10x + 10 - 7x = 3x + 6
3x + 10 = 3x + 6
We notice that there is a 3x term on both sides of the equation. Subtracting 3x from both sides gives us:
10 = 6
This is clearly not true. Therefore, the equation has no solution. The correct answer is:
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 (1 point)
The equation has one solution: x = 6
The equation has infinite solutions.
The equation has one solution: x = 10
The equation has no solution.
