How many solutions are there to this problem?
5(30x-8)=12(33-4x)
It's a linear equation, so it will only have either one solution, no solutions, or infinite slutions.......
5(30x-8)=12(33-4x) simplify
150x - 40 = 396 - 48x add 48x and 40 to both sides
198x = 436 divide both sides by 198
x = 436/198 = 218/99
