Answer 1

[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

To determine the number of solutions that the equation has, we can analyze the terms in the equation.

The equation is:
-x/2 - 4x + 9 = 0

We can see that there are two terms with x variables: -x/2 and -4x.

Since the equation is a quadratic equation (the highest power of x is 2), it can have a maximum of two solutions.

Therefore, the equation -x/2 - 4x + 9 = 0 can have a maximum of 2 solutions.
