Question

How many solutions are there to the equation below?

17x- 8 = 3x + 16
A. 1
B. 0
C. infinitely many

Answer 1

The answer is A.
There is 1 solution to the equation

Answer 2

only one solution

Explanation:

The given equation is

17x- 8 = 3x + 16

Add 8 to both sides

17x = 3x + 24

Subtract 3x to both sides

14x = 24

Divide both sides by 14

x = 24/14

x = 12/7

Since, we got only one value of x.

Therefore, the equation has only one solution.

A is correct option.
