Question

Determine whether the equation 2(h+1)=5h−7 has one solution, no solution, or infinitely many solutions. The equation has . Question 2 If the equation has a solution, enter it below. If the equation has no solution or infinitely many solutions, leave the solution field blank.

Answer 1

The answer to the question is one solution

Answer 2

The equation 2(h+1)=5h−7 has one solution

and solution is: h=3

Explanation:

We have to determine the number of solutions of the equation:

2(h+1)=5h−7

Now, on solving it

2h+2= 5h-7

Taking terms of h on one side and constant on other, we get

5h-2h= 7+2

i.e. 3h= 9

Dividing both sides by 9, we get

h= 3

Hence, the equation 2(h+1)=5h−7 has one solution

and solution is: h=3
