how many solutions does this linear equation have:
-3 (x + 3) = -3x - 11
one solution
infinite solutions
no solutions

Answer 1

No solution

Explanation:

First, do the distributive property.

you are left with: -3x -9 = -3x - 11

you add 3x to both sides and you get -9 = -11

So.... NO SOLUTION

Answer 2

No solutions

Explanation:

-3x-9=-3x-11

-3x and -3x cancel each other out

-9=-11

False

I recommend getting DESMOS graphing calculator for this sort of problem ;)
