Question

Classify the equation 2x + 1 - 4 = -2x - 3 as having one solution , no solution or infinitely many solutions .

hintHint:

When a given equation has only 1 value that can be substituted for the variable which will satisfy the given equation, the said equation has only 1 solution. i.e. after simplifying the equation, we will get a single value as the solution for x.
We will simplify the given equation and the number of values we get for the variable.

The correct answer is: The given equation i.e. 2 (6x + 9 - 3x) = 5x + 21 can be classified as an equation with only one solution


    Step-by-step solution:-
    Simplifying the given equation i.e. 6(x+2)= 5(x+7), we get-
    2x + 1 - 4 = -2x - 3
    ∴ 2x + 2x = -3 - 1 + 4 (Taking variables and constants on either side of the equation)
    ∴ 4x = 0
    ∴ x = 0/4 …......................................................................... (Dividing both sides by 4)
    ∴ x = 0
    Since after simplifying the given equation, we get a single value of x i.e. 0 that will satisfy the given equation, we can conclude that the given equation has 1 solution.
    Final Answer:-
    ∴ The given equation i.e. 2 (6x + 9 - 3x) = 5x + 21 can be classified as an equation with only one solution.

    The Price of Stock A at 9 A.M was 12.73 .Since then the price has been increasing at the rate of Rs 0.06 per hour. At noon , the price of stock B was Rs 13.48 .It begins to decrease at the rate of Rs 0.14 per hour. If the stocks continue to increase and decrease at the same rates, in how many hours will the prices of the stocks be the same?

    The equation is defined as a mathematical statement with at least two terms containing variables or numbers that are equal.
    Let's take an example:
    Assume the hours are "h" when attempting to equalize,
    As per the given question, we can write the equation as:
    12.73 + 0.06h = 13.48 - 0.14h
    Rearrange the terms of h in the above equation,
    0.06h + 0.14h = 13.48- 12.73
    In the above equation, combine the corresponding terms,
    0.2h = 0.75
    Divide both sides by 0.2
    h = 0.75/0.2
    h = 3.75
    Thus, the stock prices will be the same in 3.75 hours.
