Answer: the correct option is
(b) 0.
Step-by-step explanation: We are given to find the number of solutions for the following linear equation :
[tex]9x-16=9x-23~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(i)[/tex]
To find the number of solutions of the given equation, we must try to solve the equation and find the value of x.
From equation (i), we have
[tex]9x-16=9x-23\\\\\Rightarrow 9x-9x=-23+16\\\\\Rightarrow 0=-7,[/tex]
which can never be possible.
Thus, the given equation has NO solution.
Option (b) is CORRECT.
