Hello!

Answer:

$\Large \boxed{\sf No ~solution}$

Explanation:

→ We want to find how many solutions this equation has:

$\sf x=x+2$

◼ Subtract x from both sides:

$\sf \sf x-x=x+2-x$

◼ Simplify both sides:

$\sf \sf 0=2$

→ The equation is a contradiction, so it has no solution.

So the answer to the question "How many solutions does this equation have?" is 0.

Conclusion:

The equation x=x+2 has no solution.

The answer of the question is 0.
