how many solutions are there to the equation 15x+11=8x

OpenStudy (richyw):

There is only one solution

OpenStudy (richyw):

\[15x+11=8x\]\[15x-8x=-11\]\[7x=-11\]\[x=-\frac{11}{7}\]

OpenStudy (richyw):

to have multiple solutions you would need a higher degree polynomial unless you had something like \[7x=0\]in which care there would be an infinite number of solutions
