Answer:

No solutions

Explanation:

To find the number of solutions, solve the equation.

15x + 6 = 15x + 9 Distribute the 3 to the (5x + 2).

(15x - 15x) + 6 = (15x - 15x) + 9 Subtract 15x from both sides.

6 = 9 Since all of the variables cancel each other out, you are left with an untrue statement, so therefore, there are no solutions to this equation.
