Solution:
The given equation is
3(x - 2) = 22 - x
Using the multiplicative distributive property
3x - 6 = 22 - x
On rearranging the common terms on LHS and constants on RHS
3x + x = 22 + 6
4x = 28
Dividing both sides by 4
x = 7
Therefore, the given equation has one solution.
Summary:
The given equation 3(x - 2) = 22 - x has one solution.
