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.
