Question

How many solutions does the equation below have?


`(4x+7)/(3) = 2x+5`

A. Infinitely many
B. No solution
C. One solution
D. Two solutions

Answer 1

C. One solution, x= -4

Explanation:

• (4x+7)/3 = 2x +5
• 4x + 7 = 3(2x + 5)
• 4x + 7 = 6x + 15
• 6x - 4x = 7 - 15
• 2x = - 8
• x= -8/2
• x = -4

This equation has one solution.

Answer choice:

• C. One solution
