How many solutions does the statement represent? Which statement represents the simplified form of the given equation and correctly describes the solution? 9x+13=3(3x+4)
The given equation is 9x + 13 = 3(3x + 4).
To find the number of solutions, we need to simplify the equation:
9x + 13 = 9x + 12
Here, we notice that the equation no longer contains the variable x. This means that the equation has no variable that can take on different values to satisfy the equation. Therefore, there are no solutions to this equation.
The simplified form of the given equation is 9x + 13 = 9x + 12. And the correct description of the solution is that there are no solutions.
