Answer:

a) (x – 3\7) = 2\3 (3\2x – 9\14 )

c) 12.3x – 18 = 3(–6 + 4.1x)

Step-by-step explanation:

A linear equation can be said to have an infinite number of solutions when the number of the right hand side is the same at the number on the left hand side of the equation.

For example:

2 = 2 or x = x or 0 = 0

Solving the question above:

Which linear equations have an infinite number of solutions? Check all that apply.

a) (x – 3\7) = 2\3 (3\2x – 9\14 )

x - 3/7 = 6x/6 - 18/42

x - 3/7 = x - 3/7

Collect like terms

x - x = -3/7 + 3/7

0 = 0

The linear equation in option a has an infinite number of solutions

b) 8(x + 2) = 5x – 14

8x + 16 = 5x - 14

Collect like terms

8x - 5x = -14 - 16

3x = -30

x = -30/3

x = -10.

The linear equation in Option b has a true solution.

c) 12.3x – 18 = 3(–6 + 4.1x)

12.3x - 18 = -18 + 12.3x

Collect like terms

12.3x - 12.3x = -18 + 18

0 = 0

The linear equation in Option c has infinite number of solutions

d) 1\2(6x + 10) = 7(3\7x – 2)

6x/2 + 5 = 21/7x - 14

3x + 5 = 3x - 14

Collect like terms

3x - 3x = -14 - 5

0 = -19

The linear equation Option d has no solution

e) 4.2x – 3.5 = 2.1 (5x + 8)

4.2x - 3.5 = 10.5x + 16.8

Collect like terms

4.2x - 10.5x = 16.8 + 3.5

-6.3x = 20.3

x = -20.3/6.3

x = -3.22

Hence, the linear equation in Option e has a true solution

Therefore, the linear equations have an infinite number of solutions are:

a) (x – 3\7) = 2\3 (3\2x – 9\14 )

c) 12.3x – 18 = 3(–6 + 4.1x)

ANSWER

$f( - 1) = 2$

EXPLANATION

The given function is a piecewise defined function.

$f( - 1)$
is the y-value that corresponds to
$x = - 1.$

To determine that y-value, we need to trace from
$x = - 1$
to where it meets the graph.

We then trace to the y-axis to determine the corresponding y-value as shown in the diagram.

From the graph, we can see that this x-value corresponds to a y-value of
$2$

This implies that, when
$x = - 1,y = 2$

Therefore
$f( - 1) = 2$
See graph.
