Question

How many solutions does the equation have?3x + 2x - 6 = 7+ 5xA. Only 1 solutionB. No solutions C. Infinitely many solutions

Answer 1

ANSWER

B. No solutions

EXPLANATION

To find the solutions that the equation has, solve the equation by collecting like terms and simplifying:

$\begin{gathered} 3x+2x-6=7+5x \\ 5x-5x=7+6 \\ 0=13 \end{gathered}$

From the solution above, the two sides of the equation have different values.

Hence, there are no solutions for the given equation.

The correct option is option B.
