give an example if a linear equation in one variable with infinitely many solutioms. Explain how you know it has many solutions.
2 answers:
There can be zero solutions, 1 solution or infinite solutions--each case is explained in detail below.
<span>Note: Although systems of linear equations can have 3 or more equations,we are going to refer to the most common case--a stem with exactly 2 lines.</span>
Case I: 1 Solution
Case 3: Infinite Solutions
This is the most common situation and it involves lines that intersect exactly 1 time.
Case 2: No SolutionsThis only happens when the lines are parallel. As you can see, parallel lines are not going to ever meet.
Example of a stem that has no solution:
Case 3: Infinite Solutions
This is the rarest case and only occurs when you have the same line
Consider, for instance, the two lines below (y = 2x+1 and 2y = 4x +2). These two equations are really the same line .

Both angles will equal 180, as there is a line bisecting line AB to create the two angles.
Set up the following equation to have both angles equal 180:
Combine like terms:
Subtract 12 from both sides:
Divide both sides by 2:
We now know the value of x, so plug it into the equation we set up:
An obtuse angle will have a measure above 90 degrees. The number on the left side that is above 90 degrees is 119. This would be the measure for the obtuse angle.
The obtuse angle is 119 degrees wide.
