Answer:
The value that will create an equation with no solutions is 5x.
Step-by-step explanation:
No solution would mean that there is no answer to the equation. It is impossible for the equation to be true no matter what value we assign to the variable.
To create a no solution equation, we can need to create a mathematical statement that is always false. To do this, we need the variables on both sides of the equation to cancel each other out and have the remaining values to not be equal.
Use distributive property on the left side first.
Notice that we combined like terms first and then eliminated the variable from one side. When that happened, the variable on the other side was eliminated as well, giving us a false result.
Since zero does not equal nineteen, we know we have an equation with no solution.
Since the sum of the probabilities of all possible outcomes must be 100%, we can deduce the following:
- Cooking in under 20 minutes: 10%
- Cooking between 20 and 30 minutes: 85%
- Cooking in more than 30 minutes: 5%
In fact, the probabilities of cooking in less than 20 or more than 30 sum up to 15%, which means that the remaining outcome (i.e. cooking time between 20 and 30) must complete this probability to 15, and in fact 15+85=100.
That being said, all three answers are simply a combination of these three scenarios: let C be the cooking time, for aesthetic reasons:
Given:
2x -3 > 11 -5x
Simplify both sides:
2x - 3 > -5x + 11
Add 5x to both sides:
2x - 3 +5x > -5x + 11 +5
7x - 3 > 11
Add 3 to both sides:
7x - 3 +3 > 11 + 3
7x > 14
Divided 7 to both sides:
>
x > 2
