How many solutions does the following equation have?3 (x+5) = -4x+8

1 solution, x = - 1.

Step-by-step explanation:

3 (x + 5) = - 4x + 8

3x + 15 = - 4x + 8

3x + 4x = 8 - 15

7x = - 7

x = - 1.

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve the equation for x:

3 (x + 5) = - 4x + 8

Distribute.

3x + 15 = - 4x + 8

Combine like terms.

3x + 15 = - 4x + 8

+4x + 4x

7x + 15 = 8

-15 - 15

7x = - 7

Divide both sides by 7.

x = - 1

The following equation has one solution, x = - 1.
