Question

Determine the number of solutions for the equation shown below.

X = X-9
A. 1
B. 2
C. 0
D. Infinitely many

Answer 1

The equation has 0 solutions (answer C).

Explanation:

Starting with x = x - 9, we subtract x from both sides. This leaves us with:

0 = -9,

which is never true.

The equation has 0 solutions (answer C).
