Answer:

The provided equation has infinite solutions.

Explanation:

Consider the provided equation.


-4x-7+10x=-7+6x

The above equation can be written as:


-4x+10x-7=-7+6x

Add the like terms.


6x-7=-7+6x

This can be written as:


6x-7=6x-7

Here, we can see that left side is same as the right side.

For any value x the left and right side will be same.

Check:

Substitute x=1


6(1)-7=6(1)-7


6-7=6-7


-1=-1

Substitute x=2


6(2)-7=6(2)-7


12-7=12-7


5=5

Hence, the provided equation has infinite solutions.
