Answer: Infinite solutions
Step-by-step explanation:
[tex]8-(2x-9)=17-2x[/tex]
Begin by distributing the negative into the parenthesis.
[tex]8-2x+9=17-2x[/tex]
Combine like terms;
[tex]17-2x=17-2x[/tex]
Subtract 17
[tex]-2x=17-17-2x[/tex]
[tex]-2x=-2x[/tex]
Add 2x
[tex]-2x+2x=0\\0=0[/tex]
Equation: 8 - (2x - 9) = 17 - 2x
First, we distribute the - sign.
8 -2x + 9 = 17 - 2x
Then, we combine like terms if there any on both sides.
17 - 2x = 17 - 2x
Now, we can see the equations are equal to each other.
However, we can go a step further and solve for x.
17 - 2x = 17 - 2x
Subtract 17 from both sides.
-2x = -2x
Divide both sides by -2.
x = x
Therefore, x has no value or is 0.
