To solve for x, first distribute the 2 on the right side of the equation:
9x = 16x - 6 - 7x
Combine like terms:
9x = 16x - 13x - 6
9x = 3x - 6
Now, subtract 3x from both sides:
6x = -6
Divide by 6 on both sides to solve for x:
x = -1
Therefore, the equation has one solution: x = -1.
Answer: A. The equation has one solution: x=-1
