Answer:
The correct answer is A. one solution.
The actual solution is x = 2.5.
Step-by-step explanation:
Here is the solution below:
Step 1: 2 + 2x + 1 = 3 + 2 + 3 <----- Here is the original problem.
Step 2: 2 - 2 + 2x + 1 - 1 = 8 - 2 - 1 <----- Subtract 1 and 2 from both sides.
Step 3: 2x = 5 <----- Simplify
Step 4: 2x/2 = 5/2 <---- Divide both sides by 2.
x = 2.5
Hope this helps! :D
A. One Solution
Isolate the variable by dividing each side by factors that don't contain the variable.
Exact Form: x=5/2
Decimal Form: x=2.5
Mixed Number Form: x=2 1/2
