Question

How Many Solutions are there to the equation below

Answer 1

No solutions would be correct so 0

Answer 2

Answer:

b. 0

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given an equation $5x-8(x+5)=6-3x$. We are asked to find the number of solutions for our given equation.

Let us solve our given equation. Using distributive property $a(b+c)=ab+ac$, we will get:

$5x-8*x-8*5=6-3x$

$5x-8x-40=6-3x$

$-3x-40=6-3x$

Adding 3x on both sides of our equation, we will get:

$-3x+3x-40=6-3x+3x$

$-40=6$

Since both sides of our given equation are not equal, therefore, our given equation has no solution and option 'b' is the correct choice.
