To solve the equation, we can start by distributing the 4 to the terms inside the parentheses:
8x + 8 - 7x = 3x + 6
Next, combine like terms on both sides of the equation:
(8x - 7x) + 8 = 3x + 6
Simplifying further, we have:
x + 8 = 3x + 6
Now, we can isolate the x term on one side by subtracting x from both sides:
8 = 2x + 6
Subtracting 6 from both sides:
2 = 2x
Finally, we can solve for x by dividing both sides by 2:
1 = x
Therefore, the solution to the equation is x = 1.
Since we found one unique solution for x, the equation has exactly one solution.
Solve for x to determine if the equation has one, none, or infinite solutions.
4(2x+2)-7x=3x+6
