Answer:

one solution

Explanation:

Given the expression

3 -x = 2+x

We re to find the number of solutions we will have:

Subtract 2 from both sides

3-x-3 = 2+x -3

-x = x -1

subtract x from both sides

-x - x = x - 1 - x

-2x =-1

Divide both sides by -2

-2x/-2 = -1/-2

x = 1/2

Since the value of x is just 1, hence the equation has just one solution.
