Question

How many solutions does the equation 4x + 8 = −2 − 2 + 5x have? (5 points) Two One None Infinitely many

Answer 1

Explanation:

Hey there!

It has one solution.

Here;

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

Now, Shift "4x" in left side and add "-2" and "-2".

`8 = 5x - 4x - 4`

Simplify them to get answer.

`8 = x - 4`

`x = 8 + 4`

Therefore the value of x is 12.

Check;

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

4×12+8 = -2-2+5×12

56 = 56 (True).

Hope it helps...

Answer 2

just one solution

Explanation:

4x + 8 = −2 − 2 + 5x

4x - 5x = -2 - 2 - 8

x = 12
