Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is A. one solution.

The actual solution is x = 2.5.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here is the solution below:

Step 1: 2 + 2x + 1 = 3 + 2 + 3 <----- Here is the original problem.

Step 2: 2 - 2 + 2x + 1 - 1 = 8 - 2 - 1 <----- Subtract 1 and 2 from both sides.

Step 3: 2x = 5 <----- Simplify

Step 4: 2x/2 = 5/2  <---- Divide both sides by 2.

x = 2.5

Hope this helps! :D
