Answer:

This equation has no solution.

Explanation:

To find out how many solutions an equation has, you can just solve it. If you get an answer, that is one solution. Let's look at the equation.

3x+15=6x+2-3x

Combine like terms.

3x + 15 = 3x + 2

Subtract 3x from both sides.

15 = 2

Ruh-roh! 15 = 2 is a false statement. Since the variable fell out of the equation and what was left is false, there are no solutions.

NO number can be substituted into the equation that will make it true. There are no solutions.
