Answer: infinite number of answers

Explanation:

5x - 7x + 6 = -2(x - 3) Distribute the -2

5x - 7x + 6 = -2x + 6 Combine like terms on the left side

-2x + 6 = -2x + 6 Add 2x to both sides

6 = 6

This means there’s an infinite number of answers. To test this, you could for example plug in 1 and -1. You’d find that they both solve the equation.
