Question

How many solutions are there to the equation below?9x - 16 = 9x - 23

Answer 1

Zero.
9x-16=9x-23
9x-9x-16=-23
0-16=-23
-16=-23
The equation is invalid, so there is no solution for this equation

Answer 2

0 solutions are there to the given equation

Explanation:

Given the equation:

`9x-16 = 9x -23`

Subtract 9x from both sides, we have;

`9x-16-9x = 9x -23-9x`

Simplify:

`-16 =-23`

Divide both sides by -1 we have;

`16 =23` False.

⇒ there is no solution for the given equations.

Therefore. 0 solutions are there to the given equation.
