k thanks i guess

geerky42 (geerky42):

You have ONE solution and this is x=10 Because there is no other number that makes equation true...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x is of first degree so at the most one solution

geerky42 (geerky42):

If you have something like x = 5 OR x = 2, then you have two solutions.
