How many solutions exist for the given equation? 3 times open paren x minus 2 close paren is equal to 22 minus x

Answer
A
infinitely many
B
one
C
zero
D
two

Explanation

Distribute 3: 3x − 6 = 22 − x. Add x to both sides and add 6 to both sides to get 4x = 28, so x = 7. Since there is exactly one value of x that satisfies the equation, the answer is one solution (choice B).
