Answer: d. Infinitely many solutions
Step-by-step explanation:
The given equation is expressed as
10-3x +10x-7 = 5x-5+2x+8
The first step is to make all the terms containing the variable to be on the left hand side of the equation and the constants to be on the right hand side of the equation.
10-3x +10x-7=5x-5+2x+8
10 - 7 + 10x - 3x = 5x + 2x - 5 + 8
7x + 3 = 7x + 3
Subtracting 7x and 3 from the left hand side and the right hand side of the equation, it becomes.
7x - 7x + 3 - 3 = 7x - 7x + 3 - 3
0 = 0
It has infinitely many solutions because as any value of x would satisfy both sides of the equation.
