How many solutions exist to the equation shown above?

Question

Accepted Answer

Choice B is correct. Subtracting 4 from each side of the given equation yields , or , so the equation has a unique solution of . Choice A is incorrect. Since 3 is a value of x that satisfies the given equation, the equation has at least 1 solution. Choice C is incorrect. Linear equations can have 0, 1, or infinitely many solutions; no linear equation has exactly 3 solutions. Choice D is incorrect. If a linear equation has infinitely many solutions, it can be reduced to . This equation reduces to , so there is only 1 solution.
