Answer:

1)One solution

2)No solutions

Explanation:

To solve this for the first one you should add both sides by three to get the constants on one side.

5x+3+3=2x

Combine like terms.

5x+6=2x

Get x to one side by subtracting 5x on each side.

6=-3x

Solve for x.

x=6/-3 or x=-2

Which means one solution.

To solve the second one you should o all the steps above, but to find:

8=3

Which is not true, so no solutions.

Answer:

1. One solution

2. No solution

Explanation:

1.Step 1: Subtract 2x from both sides.

5x+3−2x=2x−3−2x

3x+3=−3

Step 2: Subtract 3 from both sides.

3x+3−3=−3−3

3x=−6

Step 3: Divide both sides by 3.

3x + -6

3 2

x=−2
