Question

PLEASE HELP

how many solutions does this equation have? 12+2x-8=7x+5-5x

Answer 1

no solution

Explanation:

STEP 1: Since x is on the right side of the equation, switch the sides so it is on the left side of the equation.

`7x+5-5x=12+2x-8`

STEP 2: Subtract 5x from 7x.

`2x+5=12+2x-8`

STEP 3: Subtract 8 from 12.

`2x+5=2x+4`

STEP 4: Move all terms containing x to the left side of the equation.

`5=4`

STEP 5: Since 5≠4, there are no solutions.
