Answer:

x = 1 (only one solution)

How do I know how many solutions an equation has?

If solving an equation yields a statement that is true for a single value for the variable, like x = 1, then the equation has one solution. If solving an equation yields a statement that is always true, like 1 = 1, then the equation has infinitely many solutions.

Step-by-step explanation:

Determine the numbers of solutions for

4x + 8 = 12x

8 = 8x

x = 8 : 8

x = 1
