Question

A set of equations is given below:

Answer 1

The answer is:  [A]:  "No solution" .
_______________________________________________
Note:  Given:
_______________________________________________
  y = 4x + 8 ;
  y = 4x + 2 ;
_______________________________________________

Since:  "y = y" ;

4x + 8 = 4x + 2 ; which is not true;
______________________________
 4x  +  8  ≠  4x  +  2 ;  since,  "8  ≠ 2" ;

Note:  Suppose:  "4x + 8 = 4x + 2" ; 

→ Subtract "4x" from each side of the equation:

4x + 8 − 4x  = 4x + 2 − 4x ;

to get:
_________________
 " 8 = 2 " ;  not true ; since  "8 ≠ 2" ;
______________________________
Also, suppose:
_______________________________
 4x + 8 = 4x + 2 ;

→ Subtract "2" from BOTH SIDES of the equation;

4x + 8 − 2 = 4x + 2 − 2 ;

to get:

4x + 6 = 4x

(Note:  "4x + 0 = 4x" ;  but "4x + 6 ≠ 4x") l

But even if we have:

4x + 6 = 4x ;

→ Subtract "4x" from EACH side of the equation:

4x + 6 − 4x  = 4x − 4x ;

to get:

   6 = 0 ; which is not true;  "6 ≠ 0" .
