Question

How many solutions exist by this given equation? 3 (X +10 )+6 equals three (X +12 )

Answer 1

infinite solutions

Explanation:

3 (X +10 )+6 = 3 (X +12 )

Distribute

3x+30 +6 = 3x+36

Combine like terms

3x+36 = 3x+36

Subtract 3x from each side

3x-3x+36 = 3x-3x+36

36=36

This is always a true statement, so there are infinite solutions
