A There is no solution to this equation.

B There are infinitely many solutions to this equation.

C There is exactly one solution to this equation, and the solution is 0 .

D There is exactly one solution to this equation, and the solution is -1 .

Respuesta :

Answer:

Option C) There is exactly one solution to this equation, and the solution is 0 is correct

That is the solution x=0

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equation is -4(x+2)+x=3x-8-5x

To find the solution to the given equation :

First to solve the given equation

-4(x+2)+x=3x-8-5x

-4x-8+x=3x-8-5x ( by using the distributive property )

-3x-8=-2x-8 ( adding the like terms )

-3x-8-(-2x-8)=-2x-8-(-2x-8)

-3x-8+2x+8=-2x-8+2x+8  ( adding the like terms )

-x=0

Therefore x=0 is the only solution to the given equation

Option C) There is exactly one solution to this equation, and the solution is 0 is correct

That is the solution x=0
