How many solutions does the equation 10 15 x - 9 = - 15 6 - 10 x have?

Question

Accepted Answer

Choice C is correct. Applying the distributive property to each side of the given equation yields 150 x - 90 = - 90 + 150 x . Applying the commutative property of addition to the right-hand side of this equation yields 150 x - 90 = 150 x - 90 . Since the two sides of the equation are equivalent, this equation is true for any value of x . Therefore, the given equation has infinitely many solutions. Choice A is incorrect and may result from conceptual or calculation errors. Choice B is incorrect and may result from conceptual or calculation errors. Choice D is incorrect and may result from conceptual or calculation errors.
