Question
5x -2 + 3x = 3(x + 4) + 5x - 10
Which of the following statements is true about the equation above?
- The equation has one solution because a single value of x makes this equation true.
- The equation has one solution because the equation is true for all values of x.
- The equation has an infinite number of solutions because the equation is true for all values of x.
- The equation has no solution because the equation is not true for any value of x.
The correct answer is: The equation has no solution because the equation is not true for any value of x.
5x – 2 + 3x = 3(x + 4) + 5x – 10
5x – 2 + 3x = 3x = 12 + 5x – 10
8x – 2 = 8x + 2
0 = 4
Based on the given condition, the system of equations has no solution.
