anonymous · Answer

first divide both sides by 3

anonymous · Answer

How

anonymous · Answer

3(2x-7)/3=

sammixboo · Answer

No you first want to simplify 3(2x – 7)

anonymous · Answer

I already know x= 4 im just having trouble finding out how many solutions it has and what they are

sammixboo · Answer

Well, if you found 1 solution, it has 1 solution :P

sammixboo · Answer

If any number works for x it has infinite solutions

anonymous · Answer

its not infinite not all number work

sammixboo · Answer

Ok, well if you got an answer this leaves you with how many solutions?

anonymous · Answer

I'm not sure. When I solve whats in the parenthesis I get 1 and one times 3 is 3. Then it would be 3= 3

sammixboo · Answer

x does equal 4, plug it in you should get 3 = 3, so you got one solution

anonymous · Answer

3=3 wouldn't be infinite ?

anonymous · Answer

what does the question mean when it says what are the solutions ?

anonymous · Answer

@sammixboo You there ?

sammixboo · Answer

Your main choices of solutions is none, one, or infinite. Infinite means no end

anonymous · Answer

So the solutions would just be x=4 ?

sammixboo · Answer

Yes
