Question

How many solutions does this equation have? 2z = 20z = 17 = 3 - 16z

Answer 1

Explanation:

The equation provided has a typing error, as it contains two equal signs. Assuming that the equation is meant to be:

2z + 20z + 17 = 3 - 16z

We can simplify it as follows:

22z + 17 = 3 - 16z

Bringing all the terms involving z to one side and all the constants to the other side, we get:

22z + 16z = 3 - 17

Combining like terms, we get:

38z = -14

Dividing both sides by 38, we get:

z = -14/38 = -7/19

Therefore, the equation has only one solution for z, which is z = -7/19.
