How many solutions exist for the given equation? 3x + 13 = 3(x + 6) + 1 a. zero b. one c. two d. infinitely many

3x + 13 = 3(x + 6) + 1

First distribute 3 through the parenthesis:

3x + 13 = 3(x + 6) + 1

Next cancel equal terms on both sides of the equation:

3x + 13 = 3x + 18 + 1

13 = 18 + 1

Finally add the numbers:

13 = 18 + 1

13 = 19

answer: finding the extract measurements and knowing the points

step-by-step explanation:

5=812a+9+3

step 1: simplify both sides of the equation.

5=812a+9+3

5=(812a)+(9+3)(combine like terms)

5=812a+12

5=812a+12

step 2: flip the equation.

812a+12=5

step 3: subtract 12 from both sides.

812a+12−12=5−12

812a=−7

step 4: divide both sides by 812.

812a /812 = -7/812

a= -1/116

so the answer is

a=   -1/116
