Answer:
an infinite number of solutions
Explanation:
−3x −17 = −17 −3x
left side = right side TRUE because -3x-17 is the same as -17-3x
we can rearrange the the equation
−3x −17 +17 = −17 +17−3x, add 17 on both sides of the equations
-3x = -3x, divide both sides by (-3)
x = x
Since this equation is always true ( for any number ) we have an infinite number of solutions (since there are is an infinity of numbers.)
