Question

How many solutions does the following equation have? 13x - 8 + 7x – 2 = 11+ 6x -- 14x – 5

Answer 1

STEP BY STEP:

13x - 8 + 7x – 2 = 11+ 6x -- 14x – 5

Combine like terms

20x-8-2 = 20x+11-5

20x-10 = 20x+6

Subtract with -20x on both sides and the result is:

$-10\neq 6$

The answer is NO SOLUTION
