BRAINIEST IF ANSWERED CORRECTLY

Mathematics
1 answer:
adoni [48]3 years ago

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

\frac{4x+4}{3} = 12

Multiply both sides by 3.

4x + 4 = 36

Subtract 4 from both sides.

4x = 32

Divide both sides by 4.

x = 8

What is the area for this shape
BabaBlast [244]

Answer:

area = 697.5 ft²

Step-by-step explanation:

Think of an outer large rectangle minus a smaller upper rectangle.

area = LW - lw

area = (45 ft)(20 ft) - (45 ft - 10 ft - 8 ft)(7.5 ft)

area = 900 ft² - (27 ft)(7.5 ft)

area = 900 ft² - 202.5 ft²

area = 697.5 ft²
