How many solutions does the following equation have? - 6(x + 7) = - 4x – 2 А. No solutions B.Exactly one solution C.Infinitely many solutions

Respuesta :

ANSWER

Exactly one solution.

EXPLANATION

We are given the equation:

-6(x + 7) = -4x - 2

To find the number of solutions, we have to solve for x:

-6x - 42 = -4x - 2

Collect like terms:

-6x + 4x = 42 - 2

-2x = 40

x = 40 / -2

x = -20

Therefore, the equation has exactly one solution.
