Okay, so, to find out if an equation has one solution, an infinite number of solutions, or no solutions, we must first solve the equation: (a) 6x + 4x - 6 = 24 + 9x First, combine the like-terms on both sides of the equal sign: 10x - 6 = 24 + 9x Now, we need to get the numbers with the variable 'x,' on the same side, by subtracting, in this case: 10x - 6 = 24 + 9x -9x. -9x ______________ X - 6 = 24 Now, we do the opposite of subtraction, and add 6 to both sides: X - 6 = 24 +6 +6 _________ X = 30 So, this particular equation has one solution. (a). One solution _____________________________________________________ (b) 25 - 4x = 15 - 3x + 10 - x Okay, so again, we combine the like-terms, on the same side of the equal sign: 25 - 4x = 25 - 2x Now, we get the 2 numbers with the variable 'x,' to the same side of the equal sign: 25 - 4x = 25 - 2x + 2x + 2x ________________ 25 - 2x = 25 Next, we do the opposite of addition, and, subtract 25 on each side: 25 - 2x = 25 -25 -25 ___________ -2x = 0 Finally, because we can't divide 0 by -2, this tells us that this has an infinite number of solutions. (b) An infinite number of solutions. __________________________________________________ (c) 4x + 8 = 2x + 7 + 2x - 20 Again, we combine the like-terms, on the same side as the equal sign: 4x + 8 = 4x - 13 Now, we get the 'x' variables on the same side, again, and, we do that by doing the opposite of addition, which, is subtraction: 4x + 8 = 4x - 13 -4x -4x ______________ 8 = -13 Finally, because there is no longer an 'x' or variable, we know that this equation has no solution. (c) No Solution _________________________________ I hope this helps!
