Question

How many solutions are there to the equation below?

Answer 1

Answer:

B - one solution

Step-by-step explanation:

6x+8−2x(7−2)=2(6+1)

Subtract 2 from 7 to get 5.

6x+8−2x×5=2(6+1)

Multiply 2 and 5 to get 10.

6x+8−10x=2(6+1)

Combine 6x and −10x to get −4x.

−4x+8=2(6+1)

Add 6 and 1 to get 7.

−4x+8=2×7

Multiply 2 and 7 to get 14.

−4x+8=14

Subtract 8 from both sides.

−4x=14−8

Subtract 8 from 14 to get 6.

−4x=6

Divide both sides by −4.

x=−46

Reduce the fraction −46 to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 2.

x=−23
