The correct solution to the equation is x = 7/18, indicating a unique solution. Here option C is correct.

To solve the given equation "3/(1/(2x)) + x = 61x - 10 - 11," let's simplify the expression step by step.

Start by simplifying the fraction in the numerator:

3/(1/(2x)) + x = 61x - 10 - 11, which simplifies to 6x.

Now, the equation becomes:

6x + x = 61x - 10 - 11.

Combine like terms:

7x = 61x - 21.

Move all x-related terms to one side and constants to the other side:

7x - 61x = -21.

Solve for x:

-54x = -21.

x is equal to -21 divided by -54, which simplifies to 7 over 18.

So, the solution is x equals 7 over 18. Here option C is correct.

Solve the equation:

3/(1/(2x)) + x = 61x - 10 - 11

a) 0

b) 42

c) There is no solution.

d) There are infinitely many solutions.
