Question
Classify the equation 3x - x + 4 = 4(2x - 1) as having one solution , no solution or infinitely many solutions .
Hint:
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. 3x - x + 4 = 4(2x - 1) can be classified as an equation with only one solution.
Step-by-step solution:-
Simplifying the given equation i.e. 3x - x + 4 = 4(2x - 1), we get-
3x - x + 4 = 4(2x - 1)
∴ 3x - x + 4 = 8x - 4 ................................. (Opening the bracket and multiplying the number with entire expression on RHS)
∴ 3x - x - 8x = -4 - 4 .................................. (Taking variables and constants on either side of the equation)
∴ - 6x = - 8
∴ x ≈ 1.33 ................................... (Dividing both sides by - 6)
Since after simplifying the given equation, we get a single value of x i.e. 1.33 that will satisfy the given equation, we can conclude that the given equation has 1 solution.
Final Answer:-
∴ The given equation i.e. 3x-x+4 = 4(2x-1) can be classified as an equation with only one solution.
