Step-by-step explanation:

7x + 15 = 9x + 15 - 2x + 1

7x + 15 = 7x + 16

Bringing like terms on one side

7x - 7x = 16 - 15

x = 1

7x + 15 = 9x + 15 - 2x + 1

7x + 15 = 7x + 16

Bringing like terms on one side

15 - 16 = 7x - 7x

-1 = x

There are two solutions

Answer:

no solutions

Step-by-step explanation:

7x + 15 = 9x + 15 - 2x + 1

Combine like terms

7x+15 = 7x+16

Subtract 7x from each side

7x+15-7x = 7x+16-7x

15 =16

This is not a true statement so there are no solutions

$\bf ~~~~~~~~~~~~\textit{distance between 2 points} \\\\ (\stackrel{x_1}{4}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{6})\qquad (\stackrel{x_2}{-2}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{9})\qquad \qquad d = \sqrt{( x_2- x_1)^2 + ( y_2- y_1)^2} \\\\\\ d = \sqrt{(-2-4)^2+(9-6)^2}\implies d = \sqrt{(-6)^2+3^2}\implies d = \sqrt{36+9} \\\\\\ d = \sqrt{45}\implies d = \sqrt{9\cdot 5}\implies d=\sqrt{3^2\cdot 5}\implies d = 3\sqrt{5}$
