Question

Kamal solved an equation as shown below. 3 (x - 8) = x * 2 * 7. 3x - 24 = 3x * 7. -24 = 7. What is the solution to Kamal's equation?

1) -24
2) 7
3) no solution
4) infinitely many solutions

Answer 1

The solution to Kamal's equation is x = -6, indicating that there is no solution. Option 3

Step-by-step explanation:

The solution to Kamal's equation can be found by simplifying the equation and solving for x.

Distribute the 3 on the left side of the equation: 3x - 24 = 7x

Subtract 3x from both sides: -24 = 4x

Divide both sides by 4: x = -6

Therefore, the solution to Kamal's equation is x = -6. This means option 3) no solution is the correct choice.
