How many solutions exist for the given equation? 3(x – 2) = 22 – x a. zero b. one c. two d. infinitely many

the answer is B: one

step 1. distribute to get rid of the perenthises

you should end up with 3x-6=22-x

step 2. add x to both sides to get 22 by its self

you should now have 4x-6=22

step 3 add 6 to both sides

so now you should have 4x=28

step 3 divide 28 by 4

so you would end up with x=7 so the answer is one solution.

the difference between a number and 5 is -2.

step-by-step explanation:

notice that the equation you are given has -2 (negative 2) on the right side, not 2. when you subtract 5 from a number n, you are finding the difference between the number and 5.

the difference between a number and 5 is -2.
