Question

Does -3(x-4)= -3x=12 have one solution, many solutions, or no solutions at all?

Answer 1

Answer:

If the expression is:

-3x + 12 = -3x + 12, infinite solutions

If the expression is:

-3x + 12 = -3x - 12, no solutions

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Distribute

-3x + 12 = 3x = 12

If both lines have the same slope and same y-int, they are the same line and therefore have infinite solutions.

If both lines have the same slope but different y-int, then they are parallel and therefore have no solutions.
