Answer: There is one solution to the given equation.

Step-by-step explanation: We are given to find the number of solutions to the following equation :

$12x+6=5x~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(i)$

Since the given equation is linear in one variable x, so it will have only one solution.

The solution of equation (i) is given by

$12x+6=5x\\\\\Rightarrow 12x-5x=-6\\\\\Rightarrow 7x=-6\\\\\Rightarrow x=-\dfrac{6}{7}.$

Thus, there is one solution to the given equation.

William is 3 years older than Charmaine.The sum of 3 times charmaines age and 2 times Williams age is 76.How old are William and

astra-53 [7]

Charmaine= x
William=x+3
3 times Charmaine = 3x
2times William = 2x+6
5x+6=76
5x=76-6
5x=70
X=14
Charmaine is 14
William is 3 years older so is 17

Check:
17x2= 34
14x3=42
34+42=76

So Charmaine is 14
William is 17
