Question

How many solutions exist for the given equation?

3 (x-2) = 22 - x

a. zero
b. one
c. two
d. infinitely many

Answer 1

Answer:

one solution

Step-by-step explanation:

3 (x-2) = 22 - x

Distribute

3x - 6 = 22 -x

Add x to each side

3x+x -6 = 22 -x+x

4x -6 = 22

Add 6 to each side

4x = 22+6

4x = 28

Divide by 4

x = 7
