How many solutions does x=-2 have

1 Answer

4 votes

Answer:

One solution

Explanation:

In a one- variable equation has infinitely many solutions when solving results in a true statement, such as 2=2

In a one- variable equation has one solution when solving results in one value for the variable, such as x = 5

In a one - variable equation has no solution when solving results in an untrue statement, such as 2=3

So, in this case the result x = -2 belongs to the 2nd sentence where it says one solution.

Hope this helps :)
