Question

How many solutions are there to the equation below? 8x + 47 = 8(x + 5)

Answer 1

Answer:

there are 0 solutions to the equation

Step-by-step explanation:

To know how many solutions are in the problem, we have to solve for x and see what result we have left. According to the result, we will know how many solutions there are

8x + 47 = 8(x + 5)

8x + 47 = 8*x + 8*5

8x + 47 = 8x + 40

8x - 8x = 40 - 47

0 = -7

As we can see we are left with an equality that is not fulfilled, this means that there is no solution to the problem, at least in the field of real numbers
