Question

How many solutions are there to the equation below? 9(x – 4) = 9x – 33

Answer 1

9(x - 4) = 9x - 33
9x - 36 = 9x - 33
9x - 9x = -33 + 36
0 = 3...(incorrect)....no solutions

Answer 2

Answer:

No solution .

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :  9(x – 4) = 9x – 33.

To find : How many solutions are there to the equation below.

Solution : We have given that

9(x – 4) = 9x – 33.

On left side distribute 9 over (x -4)

9x -36 = 9x -33

On subtracting both sides by 9x

9x -9x - 36 = -33

On adding both sides  by 36

0 = -33 +36

0 = 3

Left hand side is not equal to right hand side.

Therefore, No solution .
