Question

How many solutions does the following equation have? explain
5x- 3x + 5 = 8x +5

Answer 1

Once fully solved, x is equal to 0, so it means that there is only one solution

Explanation:

When you combine like terms (without adding variables to either side), the equation is equal to:

2x + 5 = 8x + 5

Then, the next step is:

5 = 8x + 5 - 2x

Finally, the last one is:

0 = 6x, which is x = 0.

Answer 2
