Question

13. Describe the number of solutions for the equation. (1 point)

3(x – 3) = 3x
O one solution
O no solution
O infinite solutions
What one

Answer 1

no solution

Explanation:

Given

3(x - 3) = 3x , that is

3x - 9 = 3x ( add 9 to both sides )

3x = 3x + 9 ( subtract 3x from both sides )

0 = 9 ← not possible

This indicates the equation has no solution
