Hi there,

To get the number of solutions that the equation is giving, we are going to need to solve the equation. Here’s how to find the solution...

15x+11= 8x

If we collect it sorta like terms we are going to get:

11=8x-15x

11=-7x dividing both of the sides by -7 we get:

x=-7/11


The number of solutions you have is 1. So your answer would be one.

Hello there!

How many solutions does 15x + 11 = 8x


Answer: 1 solution
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Step-by-step explanation:


To solve this, we must isolate the x.

15x + 11 = 8x

We will subtract 15x from each side to isolate the x.

15x + 11 = 8x
- 15x -15x

11 = -7x

Finally, we must simplify this by dividing each side by -7

11 = -7x
--- ----
-7 -7


Our answer is: -11/7 = x

Ths means that this equation only has one solution.


I hope I helped!

Let me know if you need anything else!
