1) 0 (or NO) solutions is your answer.

Solve the equation. Isolate the x. Subtract x from both sides, and 2.44 from both sides

7.48 (-2.44) + x (-x) = 2.44 (-2.44) + x (-x)

7.48 - 2.44 = x - x

Subtract

5.04 ≠ 0

1) 0 solutions is your answer, because 5.04 does not equal 0.

hope this helps

Here is your answer:

7.48+x=2.44+x 7.48 + x + -1x = 2.44 + x + -1x x + -1x = 0 7.48 + 0 = 2.44 + x + -1x 7.48 = 2.44 + x + -1x x + -1x = 0 7.48 = 2.44 + 0 7.48 = 2.44 7.48 = 2.44

Which would mean that this equation has "no solutions" or the first option.

Hope this helps!
