Question

How many solutions exist for the equation 5(x-1)+2 = 2x+3x-3 ?

Answer 1

infinite number of solutions

Explanation:

Given

5x - 1) + 2 = 2x + 3x - 3 ← distribute and simplify

5x - 5 + 2 = 5x - 3, that is

5x - 3 = 5x - 3

Since both sides are equal then there are an infinite number of solutions to the equation.
