PLEASE! 10 POINTS! For what number A does the equation 3Ax - 24 = 5x - 9 + x have no solutions for x?

Gala2k [10]

Answer:

3Ax-6x = 15

3x(A-2)=15

If A were 2, the left side of the equation would be 0 and it wouldn't equal 15 no matter what the value of x is. So A is 2

$\bf (\stackrel{x_1}{2}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{0})\qquad (\stackrel{x_2}{6}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{-8}) ~\hfill \stackrel{slope}{m}\implies \cfrac{\stackrel{rise} {\stackrel{y_2}{-8}-\stackrel{y1}{0}}}{\underset{run} {\underset{x_2}{6}-\underset{x_1}{2}}}\implies \cfrac{-8}{4}\implies -2 \\\\\\ \begin{array}{|c|ll} \cline{1-1} \textit{point-slope form}\\ \cline{1-1} \\ y-y_1=m(x-x_1) \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}\implies y-\stackrel{y_1}{0}=\stackrel{m}{-2}(x-\stackrel{x_1}{2})\implies y=-2x+4$
