Step-by-step explanation:
<u>First Degree Equations</u>
A first-degree equation can have one, none, or infinitely many solutions.
An equation like
2x + 3 = -x + 6
Has one solution: x=1
An equation like:
4x + 2 = 4x + 1
Has no solutions because when trying to solve for x we get:
2 = 1
This equality is false and no value of x can make it true
Finally, the equation:
3x + 2 = x + 2x + 2
Has infiniteyl many solutions, because when trying to solve it, we get:
2 = 2
Which is true regardless of the value of x
- The first given equation:
3x + 9 + 4x + x = ??
can be simplified as:
8x + 9 = ??
For this equation not having solutions, we should have 8x plus any number but 9 on the right side of the equation:
8x + 9 = 8x -3, or
8x + 9 = 8x + 4
- The second given equation:
3x + 9 + 4x + x = ??
can be simplified as:
8x + 9 = ??
If the equation has one solution, the only condition is that we should not have 8x on the right side. Thus any of those will do:
8x + 9 = 3x + 9
8x + 9 = -x + 5
8x + 9 = 0
3x + 9 + 4x + x = ??
can be simplified as:
8x + 9 = ??
For this equation to have infinitely many solutions, the right side must be exactly equal to the left side:
8x + 9 = 8x + 9
