Question

How many solutions for x does the following equation have? 2(x + 4) − 1 = 2x + 7

Answer 1

Answer:

The equation has infinity solutions

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

$2(x+4)-1=2x+7$

Applying distributive property left side

$2x+8-1=2x+7$

Combine like terms

$2x+7=2x+7$

The linear equation of the left side is equal to the linear equation of the right side

Both lines are identical

therefore

Is a consistent dependent system

The equation has infinity solutions
