Which of the following equations has exactly one solution?

A. 4x-3=4x+3

B. -4x+3=4x+7

C. -4x+3=-4x+7

D. -7x+3=-7x+3

7 answers

D. -7x+3=-7x+3
And what is that solution?
The solution to the equation -7x+3=-7x+3 is all real numbers (infinite solutions) because both sides of the equation are equal to each other which means the equation is an identity.
So which of the options has ONLY ONE soltuion?
B. -4x+3=4x+7
What is the solution to that?
To solve the equation -4x + 3 = 4x + 7, we can first isolate the variable term on one side of the equation:

-4x + 3 = 4x + 7
Subtract 4x from both sides:
3 = 8x + 7
Subtract 7 from both sides:
-4 = 8x
Divide by 8 to solve for x:
x = -1/2

Therefore, the solution to the equation -4x + 3 = 4x + 7 is x = -1/2. This equation has exactly one solution.
