Question

How many solutions does the equation 5x + 10 = 5x − 8 have?

Zero
One
Two
Infinitely many

Answer 1

Try to solve for x.

If you get, just throwing random numbers:

\(\sf 5 = 5\)
Then you have infinitely many solutions

If you get

\(\sf x=3\)
You have one solution.

There can never be 2 solutions.

If you get
\(\sf 0 = -2\)
since that isn't equal, you have 0 solutions.

Answer 2

to start of you need to change the x to 0 in the equation.
5(0)+10=5(0)-8
then multiply by 5
0+10=5(0)-8
do you follow so far?
