Answer:

The given equation has just one solution

Explanation:

To find the solution to the problem given, we will follow the steps below;

5x + 3x - 4 = 10

We will first start by simplifying

8x - 4 = 10

Add 4 to both-side of the equation

8x - 4 + 4 = 10 + 4

8x = 10

Divide both-side of the equation by 8

8x/8 = 10/8

At the left-hand side of the equation, 8 will cancel-out 8 leaving us with just x while at the right-hand side of the equation 10 will be divided by 8

x=1.25

Therefore the given equation has just one solution
