Answer: one solution

Explanation:

CONCEPT:

- One solution is when the final variable would be able to find a solution.

- Infinite solution is when the equations result in 0=0, meaning any number will fit

- No solution is when the equation results in both sides on equal.

SOLVE:

Given

3/4x-7=3(1/6x+1)

Expand Parenthesis

3/4x-7=1/2+3

Multiply both sides by the LCM of fractions (Least Common Multiple)

4(3/4x-7)=4(1/2x+3)

3x-28=2x+12

Subtract both sides by 2x

3x-28-2x=2x+12-2x

x-28=12

Add both sides by 28

x-28+28=12+28

x=40

Since we are able to get exactly one solution, there is only one solution.

Hope this helps!! :)

Please let me know if you have any quesionts
