Answer:

The equation has only one solution, x = -9

Explanation:

We want to find how many solutions the equation:

8x = -9 + 7x

has.

To find it, let's simplify the equation.

First, let's move all the terms with x to the left side, and the terms without x to the right side:

8x - 7x = -9

(8 - 7)*x = -9

1*x = -9

x = -9

So we can see that we have only one solution, x = -9
