Question

How many solutions exist for the given equation? (x + 12) = 4x – 1

Answer 1

One solution

Explanation:

The given equation is;

`x+12=4x-1`

Group similar terms;

`x-4x=-1-12`

Combine the similar terms to get;

`-x=-13`

Multiply both sides by -1 to obtain;

`x=13`

Therefore, there exist only one solution.
