Answer:
there are 0 solutions to the equation
Step-by-step explanation:
To know how many solutions are in the problem, we have to solve for x and see what result we have left. According to the result, we will know how many solutions there are
8x + 47 = 8(x + 5)
8x + 47 = 8*x + 8*5
8x + 47 = 8x + 40
8x - 8x = 40 - 47
0 = -7
As we can see we are left with an equality that is not fulfilled, this means that there is no solution to the problem, at least in the field of real numbers
