How many solutions does the equation have?

1 answer:

3 0

The equation would have infinite solutions.
First, distribute on both sides, and you get 12x - 6 = 12x - 6.
There are two ways to do this from here. first is: you add six to both sides and they'll cancel out, and you'll have 12x = 12x. Then you divide by 12 on both sides and get x = x. When the two sides equal the same thing, there are infinite solutions.
Or, we can do the easy way. As you can see, 12x-6 = 12x-6. Both the sides are clearly the same, so we actually don't need to do the rest.
ANSWER: infinite solutions

Answer:

1 cm : 10.5 km

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that two towns are 31.5 km in real and are 3 cm apart on a map and we are to find the scale of the map.

For this, we can use the ratio method.

$\frac { 3 cm } { 1 c m } = \frac { 3 1 . 5 k m } { x }$
