Question

How many numbers of solutions are there for the following equation
2(4x+1) −5x +2 = 3x+4

Answer 1

infinite solutions

Explanation:

2(4x+1) −5x +2 = 3x+4

Distribute

8x +2 -5x +2 =3x+4

Combine like terms

3x +4 = 3x+4

Subtract 3x from each side

3x-3x+4 = 3x-3x+4

4=4

This is always true, so there are infinite solutions
