Explanation:

In order to find the number of solutions, we have to expand both sides out first.


3(x - 2) + 7x = (1)/(2) (6x - 2)

First, expand 3(x-2), which will obtain 3x-6.

Next, expand (1/2)(6x-2), which gives 3x - 1.

The result at this point should be as shown below:


3x - 6 + 7x = 3x - 1

Now, we would shift all x terms to the left and all number terms to the right.


3x + 7x - 3x = - 1 + 6

After simplifying, the final equation would be:


7x = 5

This is a linear equation and it has one solution.


x = (5)/(7)
