Answer:

only one solution

Explanation:

To find the solution(s) of the equation 7x = -10 + 8x, we can first simplify the equation by isolating the variable on one side of the equation.

We can start by subtracting 8x from both sides, which would give us:

-x = -10

then we can divide both sides by -1 to get x = 10

So the equation 7x = -10 + 8x has only one solution: x = 10

It is important to note that the solution x = 10 is a valid solution of the equation 7x = -10 + 8x because when we substitute x = 10 into the equation, we get 7(10) = -10 + 8(10) which simplifies to 70 = 0, which is true.

It means that x = 10 is the value of x that makes the equation a true statement.

So in conclusion, the equation 7x = -10 + 8x has only one solution: x = 10
