Question

Tell whether the following equation has one, zero, or infinitely many solutions.

5x + 6 = 2 + 3x

Group of answer choices

A) Infinitely many solutions

B) Zero solutions

C) One solution

Answer 1

Option C: One solution

Explanation:

5x + 6 = 2 + 3x

Subtract 3x from both sides;

2x + 6 = 2

Subtract 6 from both sides;

2x = -4

Divide both sides by 2;

x = -2
