Question

how many solutions are there to the equation below

7(x+2)=7x-10

Answer 1

Answer:

No solution

Step-by-step explanation:

$7(x+2)=7x-14\\7x-14-7x+10=0\\-4=0$

it is not possible -4=0

S0 there is no solution in equation.

Answer 2

Answer:

No solutions

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplify the given equation:

$7(x+2)=7x-10$

Distribute, multiply every term inside of the parenthesis by the term outside of it.

$7(x+2)=7x-10$

$7(x)+7(2)=7x-10$

Simplify,

$7x+14=7x-10$

Inverse operations,

$7x+14=7x-10$

$7x+(-7x)+14=7x+(-7x)-10$

Simplify,

$7x+(-7x)+14=7x+(-7x)-10$

$7x-7x+14=7x-7x-10$

$14=-10$

This equation simplifies down to an untrue equation, therefore, there are no solutions to this equation.
