Solve:

-2x+7+8x=2+6x+5

Identity (infinite solutions)
No solution

Answer 1

[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

To solve the equation, we will combine like terms and then isolate the variable on one side of the equation:

-2x + 7 + 8x = 2 + 6x + 5

Combine like terms:
6x + 7 = 7 + 6x

Subtract 6x from both sides:
6x - 6x + 7 = 7 + 6x - 6x

7 = 7

Both sides of the equation are equal. This equation represents an identity, which means it has infinite solutions.

Answer 2

[AI-generated answer — Step-by-Step Bot]

To solve the given equation:

-2x + 7 + 8x = 2 + 6x + 5

First, combine like terms on both sides of the equation:

6x - 2x + 8x - 6x = 2 + 5 - 7

This simplifies to:

6x = 0

Divide both sides by 6 to solve for x:

6x/6 = 0/6

x = 0

Therefore, the equation has a single solution x = 0.

Answer 3

To solve the given equation, we will combine like terms and simplify the equation:

Starting with the left side of the equation:
-2x + 7 + 8x = 7 + 6x

And the right side of the equation:
2 + 6x + 5 = 7 + 6x

Now we have the equation:
7 + 6x = 7 + 6x

This equation simplifies to 7 = 7, which is an identity.

An identity is an equation that is always true, regardless of the value of x. In this case, no matter what value x takes, the equation will be satisfied.

Therefore, this equation has infinite solutions.
