Elena said the equation 8x + 16 = 2x + 16 has no solutions because 8x is greater than 2x. Do you agree with Elena? Explain your reasoning.

Answer:

The equation has a solution,

  • x = 0

Explanation:

Given equation,

→ 8x + 16 = 2x + 16

Now the value of x will be,

→ 8x + 16 = 2x + 16

→ 8x - 2x = 16 - 16

→ 6x = 0

→ x = 0/6

→ [ x = 0 ]

Hence, the value of x is 0.
