Option 2 (one solution)
The given equation 16x + 12 = -18 has one solution
Solution:
Given equation is 16x + 12 = -18
We have to find solution to the given equation
16x + 12 = -18
Moving 12 from L.H.S to R.H.S,
16x = -18 - 12
On solving we get,
16x = -30
[tex]x = \frac{-30}{16}[/tex]
Reducing to lowest terms,
[tex]x = \frac{-30}{16} = \frac{-15}{8}[/tex]
In decimal form,
[tex]\frac{-15}{8} = - 1.875[/tex]
So the solution to given equation is x = -1.875 or \frac{-15}{8}
So the given equation has one solution for "x"
