Question

How many solutions exist for the given equation?

1(x + 12) = 4x – 1
zero
one
two
o
infinitely many

Answer 1

One

Explanation:

When you distribute the one you will be left with x + 12 = 4x - 1. Subtract the 12 from the left side, and add it to the right. x = 4x - 13. Subtract the 4x from the right, add it to the left. You are left with -3x = -13. You can only divide both sides by -3, leaving you with x = -13/-3.

Answer 2

`1(x + 12) = 4x - 1\\x+12=4x-1\\13=3x\\x=(13)/(3) \\x=4(1)/(3)`

This equation has only one solution
