Question

How many solutions are there to the equation below?

7 (x + 2) = 7x - 10

A. 1
B. 0
C. Infinitely many

Answer 1

7 (x + 2) = 7x - 10

7x + 14 = 7x - 10

x could be anything and it wouldn't be solved.

Your answer is B. 0

Answer 2

The given equation has no solution. So, option B. 0 is correct.

What is the solution to an equation?

The solution is the value of the variable in the equation that makes the equation to be true. For an equation depending on the degree of the variable, there are one or more solutions.

Finding the solution for the given equation:

Given equation is 7 (x + 2) = 7x - 10

Simplifying the equation for variable x

⇒ 7x + 14 = 7x - 10

⇒ 7x - 7x = -10 - 14

This makes no sense  (the absence of the variable doesn't give any solution).

Therefore, there are no solutions for the given equation. Option B is correct.
