The equation 6x + 8 = 6(x + 2) has no solution

The equation 10x = 15 + 5x has one solution

The equation x + 11 = 8x + 11 - 7x has infinitely many solutions

Step-by-step explanation:

The types of the solutions of an equation of one variable

If the variable has one value, then the equation has one solution
If the variable disappears from the equation and the left hand side is equal to the right hand side, then the equation has infinitely many solutions
If the variable disappears from the equation and the left hand side is not equal the right hand side, then the equation has no solutions

∵ 6x + 8 = 6(x + 2)

- Simplify the right hand side

∴ 6x + 8 = 6x + 12

- Subtract 6 from both sides

∴ 8 = 12 ⇒ it can not be

- x disappears and the left hand side not equal the right and side,

then use the 3rd case above

∵ L.H.S ≠ R.H.S

∴ The equation has no solution

∵ 10x = 15 + 5x

- Subtract 5x from both sides

∴ 5x = 15

- Divide both sides by 5

∴ x = 3

- The variable x has one solution, then use the 1st case above

∴ The equation has one solution

∵ x + 11 = 8x + 11 - 7x

- Add the like terms in the right hand side

∴ x + 11 = x + 11

- Subtract x from both sides

∴ 11 = 11

- x disappears and the left hand side is equal to the right and side,

then use the 2nd case above

∵ L.H.S = R.H.S

∴ The equation has infinitely many solutions

The effective annual interest rate is:
i = (1 + 0.064/12)^12 - 1 = 0.066
In year 1: the interest is $613.80 (multiple $9300 by 0.066)
In year 2: the interest is $654.31 (add interest from year 1 to $9300 and multiply by 0.066)
In year 3: the interest is $656.98 (do the same as year 2)
In year 4: the interest is $657.16

The total interest is: $2582.25
The present worth of this amount is:
P = 2582.23 / (1 + 0.066)^4 = $1999.72

The answer is $1999.72.

The sum of two integers is 26. the sum of the squares of the two integers is 340. what is the product of the two numbers?

Phoenix [80]

Lets say that the two unknown integers are $n$ and $m$ .

We know the following things about $n$ and $m$ :

$n+m=26$
$n^2+m^2=340$

And, we want to find $nm$ .

To solve this, we'll use the expansion of the squared of the sum of any two inegers; this is expressed as:

$(n+m)^2=n^2+2nm+m^2$

So, given what we know about the unknown integers, the previous can be written as:

$(26)^2=340+2nm$

We can easily solve for $nm$ :

$nm= \frac{(26)^2-340}{2}= \frac{676-340}{2}= \frac{336}{2}=168$

The answer is 168.

Another approach to solve the problem is, from the two starting equations, compute the values of $n$ and $m$ , which are 12 and 14, and directly compute their product; however, the approach described is more elegant.
