Answer:

x = 7

It has only one solution.

Explanation:

Given : 3(x-2) = 22-x

To find : how many solutions exist for the given equation

Solution : We have given

3(x-2) = 22-x

Distributes 3 over x -2.

3x - 6 = 22- x

On adding both sides b y 6

3x = 22+ 6 - x .

3x = 28 - x .

3x +x = 28.

4x = 28.

On dividing both sides by 4

x = 7

It has only one solution.

Therefore, x = 7

It has only one solution.
