Answer:
Infinite.
Step-by-step explanation:
[tex]-17+2(1+3x)=x-5(3-x)[/tex]
Expand:
[tex]-17+2+6x=x-15+5x[/tex]
[tex]6x+15=6x+15[/tex]
[tex]6x=6x[/tex]
[tex]0=0[/tex]
Since 0=0 is true, then there are infinite solutions as no matter what value you put in for x, it will never affect the outcome of 0=0 which is true.
