It is difficult to find any sense in the question. If the error is in the very last step, then 'they' are not 'equal', even if the left side of the equation is correct. If the error happens before the last step, the answer is likely to be wrong, but there may also be a calculation error in the last step. So you can't conclude that in the final step the left and right sides are in fact equal. They may be, but it is not necessarily so. If they are equal, they demonstrate that calculations at that step have been done correctly. They are not equal 'because' they are both unequal to the values in the correct solution.

How can you tell how many solutions a quadratic equation will have without solving it?

A quadratic equation can have a maximum of 2 solutions. If the discriminant (b2-4ac) turns out to be less than 0, the equation will have no real roots. If the Discriminant is equal to 0, it will have equal roots. But, if the discriminant turns out to be more than 0,then the equation will have unequal and real roots.
