Question

How many solutions exist for the given equation?

} (x + 12) = 4x – 1
zero
one
two
infinitely many

Answer 1

The given equation has one solution.

Explanation:

Given equation is:

(x+12) = 4x-1

We will solve the equation to check how many solutions it has.

x+12 = 4x-1

Adding 1 on both sides

x+12+1 = 4x-1+1

x+13 = 4x

Subtracting x from both sides

x-x+13=4x-x

13 = 3x

x = 13/3

Hence,

The given equation has one solution.
