How many solutions are there to the equation below?

5x - 8 (x + 5) = 6 - 3x

b. 0

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given an equation 5x-8 (x+5) = 6-3x. We are asked to find the number of solutions for our given equation.

Let us solve our given equation. Using distributive property a (b+c) = ab+ac, we will get:

5x-8*x-8*5=6-3x

5x-8x-40=6-3x

-3x-40=6-3x

Adding 3x on both sides of our equation, we will get:

-3x+3x-40=6-3x+3x

-40=6

Since both sides of our given equation are not equal, therefore, our given equation has no solution and option 'b' is the correct choice.

theres no solution!
