Answer:

La Shawn's Equation has Infinitely many solution.

Explanation:

Given Equation is,

3x - 8 = -x + 4( x - 2 )

We have to find: number of solution of this equation.

First we simplify the equation.

3x - 8 = -x + 4( x - 2 )

3x - 8 = -x + 4 × x - 4 × 2

3x - 8 = -x + 4x - 8

3x - 8 = 3x - 8

We get both sides equal to each other.

This means this equation has infinitely many solutions or we can st that all real numbers are solution of this equation.

Therefore, La Shawn's Equation has Infinitely many solution.
