How many solutions for x does the following equation have?

3 (X + 8) - 1 = 3x + 4

A. 4

B. O

c. 1

D. infinite

B. No solutions.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's try solving it:

3 (x + 8) = 3x + 4

3x + 8 = 3x + 4.

There are no solutions because if we simplify we get an absurd result. Subtract 3x from both sides of the equation:

3x - 3x + 8 = 3x - 3x + 4

8 = 4.
