Answer:

14

Step-by-step explanation:

First condition

Let the number be x

\dfrac{x+ 8}{4} = \dfrac{x - 3}{2}       Cross multiply

2(x + 8) = 4*(x - 3)                             Remove the brackets

2x + 16 = 4x - 12                               Add 12 to both sides

2x + 16 + 12 = 4x - 12 + 12                Simplify

2x + 28 = 4x                                     Subtract 2x from both sides

2x - 2x + 28 = 4x - 2x                      Simplify

28 = 2x                                             Divide both sides by 2

28/2 = 2x/2                

x = 14

Answer: B) Infinitely many solutions; both equations are equivalent

==============================================================

Work Shown:

x+y = 4 ... start with the first equation

x + (-x+4) = 4 ... replace y with (-x+4)

x-x+4 = 4

0x+4 = 4

0+4 = 4

4 = 4 ... this is a true statement regardless of what x you pick

So there are infinitely many solutions. Each solution (x,y) is of the form (x,-x+4). All solutions fall on the line y = -x+4 which is equivalent to x+y = 4. Note how we add x to both sides.

Or you could start with x+y = 4 and subtract x from both sides to get y = -x+4. Either way, we're dealing with the same equation which is why they both graph out the same line.
