Tell whether each equation has one, zero, or infinitely many solutions. Solve the equation if it has one solution.

4x + 2 = x + 8 PL

Exactly One Solution

Step-by-step explanation:

4x + 2 = x + 8

3x = 6                Simplify.

x = 2                  Divide by 2.

One solution, x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

4x + 2 = x + 8 (Given)

4x = x + 6

(The 2 is subtracted from the right side, therefore the left side is also subtracted. 8 becomes 6.)

3x = 6

(The x is subtracted from the right side to the left side. Thus turning the 4x into 3x)

x = 2

(The 3 is divided out to get x alone. So, the 6 has to be divided by 3 as well, turning it into 2)

Straight angle represents 180°
