BRAINIEST IF ANSWERED CORRECTLY

An example of something that doesn't have a solution is something like x+2 = x+3

If we subtract x from both sides, then we end up with 2 = 3, which is always false.

No matter what we plug in for x, the original equation will always be false. The right hand side is always 1 larger than the left side. So that's why we don't have any solutions here.

Side note: equations of this form are known as contradictions (or we could say the equation is inconsistent).

=====================================================

An example of something that has one solution is 3x+2 = 2x+7

Solving this equation leads us to...

3x+2 = 2x+7

3x-2x = 7-2

1x = 5

x = 5

To verify the solution, we plug it back into the original equation

3x+2 = 2x+7

3(5)+2 = 2(5)+7

15+2 = 10+7

17 = 17

We get the same thing on both sides, so we get a true statement. This confirms that x = 5 is the solution to 3x+2 = 2x+7.

=====================================================

An example of an equation with infinitely many solutions is 2x+4 = 2(x+2)

Notice how both sides are the same thing. The 2(x+2) distributes out to get 2x+4

Since we have the exact same identical expression on both sides, this ultimately means no matter what we plug in for x, we'll get a true statement. True statements (like the conclusion at the last section) are simply anything with the same number on both sides after simplifying everything.

Side note: equations of this form are known as identities

Solve using substitution<br><br> y=1/2x<br> x+4y=18
Aleks [24]

Answer:

The solution set is (6,3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Begin by multiplying equation 1 by 2. You'll see why in a moment

2y = 2*(1/2) x

2y = x

Substitute this value into equation 2.

2y + 4y = 18                  Combine like terms on the left

6y = 18                          Divide both sides by 6

6y/6 = 18/6                    Do the division

y = 3

To solve for x just use the top equation

y = 1/2x

3 = 1/2x                          Multiply by 2

3*2 = x

x = 6
