Does this equation have one, many, or no solutions? If one, what is the value of 'x'? Show work please.

This equation has one solution.

Steps:

2+4(3-4x) = 5x +9

First, we need to distribute to the terms inside the parentheses.

4 * 3 = 12   and   4 * -4= -16x

Our equation now looks like this:

2 + 12 - 16x = 5x + 9

We can now combine like terms. We have 2 like terms that we can combine:

2 + 12 + = 14

Our equation now looks like this:

-16x + 14 = 5x + 9

We can now use inverse operations to get rid of 5x. The inverse operation for addition is subtraction; so we subtract 5x on both sides. Remember, our goal is to isolate the x.

-16x + 14 = 5x + 9

-5x          -5x

The fives cancel out. Our equation now looks like this:

-21x + 14 = 9

We can now use inverse operations to get rid of the 14:

-21x + 14 = 9

       - 14  -14

The fourteens cancel out. Our equation now looks like this:

-21x = -5

Last step! Now we use inverse operations to isolate the x. -21 is being multiplied by x; the inverse operation for multiplication is division.

-21x/-21 =    and    -5/-21 = 5/21

x is equal to 5/21.

Hope this helps!

the correct option is 2.

step-by-step explanation:

according to the given information triangle abc is a right angle triangle with right angle at a. segment ab is 5 and segment ac is 7. point d is on segment bc and angles adb and adc are right angles.

it is given that triangles abd, cad, and cba are similar.

two triangles are similar if their corresponding sides are proportional.

in triangle cba, using pythagoras theorem

                      )

triangle abd and cba are similar,

                            (2)

triangle cad and cba are similar,

                      )

using (1), (2) and (3), we get

hence proved.

therefore option 2 is correct.
