Question

Solve each given equation and show your work. Tell whether each question has one solution, an infinite number of solutions, or no solutions. Explain your answers. (A) 2x+4(x-1)=2+4x. (B) 25-x=15-(3x+10) (C) 4x=2x+2x+5(x-x)

Answer 1

2x + 4(x - 1) = 2 + 4x
2x + 4x - 4 = 2 + 4x
6x - 4 = 2 + 4x
6x - 4x = 2 + 4
2x = 6
x = 3........there is 1 solution

25 - x = 15 - (3x + 10)
25 - x = 15 - 3x - 10
25 - x = -3x + 5
3x - x = 5 - 25
2x = - 20
x = -20/2
x = -10.....there is 1 solution

4x = 2x + 2x + 5(x - x)
4x = 4x + 5x - 5x
4x = 4x......this has infinite solutions

learn this...
if ur equation ends in a variable equaling a number, then there is one solution.
if ur equation ends in something not equal, like 2 = 4, or 4 = 6, then there is 0 solutions.
if ur equation ends in something equal to something,(the same) like 2 = 2, or 4x = 4x, then there is infinite solutions
