How many solutions are there to the equation below? 5x + 48 + 7x = 12 (x + 4)

A. 1
B. Infinitely many
C. 0

B. Infinitely Many

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Distribute

5x + 48 + 7x = 12x + 48

Step 2: Combine like terms

12x + 148 = 12x + 48

If the 2 lines are the same, which they are, they are the same lines. That means there are an infinite amount of solutions. If they had the same slope but different y-intercepts, there would be no solutions because the lines are parallel. Any other pair of equations would have 1 solution.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is how you would proceed:

Centered at D, draw an arc of 7m (3.5cm) within the garden (rectangle).

Centered at B, draw an arc of 4m (2cm) within the garden.

There will be two intersection points, one is outside the garden (that you will not see), and the other is within the garden, which is where the tree should be planted.
