Question
Solve 49x + 9= 49x + 83
a)Does the equation have one solution , no solution or infinitely many solutions ?
b) Write two equations in one variable that have the same number of solutions as this equation
Hint:
An equation where no value can be substituted for the variable which will satisfy the equation i.e. for no value of x (or any other variable in the equation), would LHS equal RHS.
Hence, an equation where LHS ≠ RHS for any value of x has no solutions.
We will simplify the given equation and check whether LHS = RHS or not.
The correct answer is: The given equation- 49x + 9 = 49x + 83 has no solutions. Also, 3m - 87 = 3m + 87 & 700y = 700y - 100 are examples of 2 equations with the same number of solutions that the given equation has i.e. no solutions.
Step-by-step solution:-
a). Identification of whether the given equation has one solution, no solution or infinitely many solutions:-
Simplifying the given equation i.e. 49x + 9 = 49x + 83, we get-
49x + 9 = 49x+83
∴ 49x - 49x + 9 = 49x - 49x + 83 ................................................. (Adding -49 noth the sides)
∴ 0 + 9 = 0 + 83
∴ 9 ≠ 83
∴ LHS ≠ RHS
b). 2 Equations in one variable that have the same number of solutions as the above equation i.e. 49x + 9 = 49x + 83:-
Since the given equation has no solutions, we need to give 2 examples of equations in one variable that also have no solutions.
The following equations have no solutions:-
i. 3m - 87 = 3m + 87
Simplifying the above equation, we get-
3m - 3m - 87 = 3m - 3m + 87 ...................................... (Adding -3m both sides)
∴ 0 - 87 = 0 + 87
∴ -87 ≠ 87
∴ LHS ≠ RHS
ii. 700y = 700y - 100
Simplifying the above equation, we get-
700y - 700y = 700y - 700y - 100 .................................... (Adding -700y both sides)
∴ 0 = 0 - 100
∴ 0 ≠ - 100
∴ LHS ≠ RHS
Since, for both the above equations, LHS does not equal to RHS, the 2 equations have no solutions.
Final Answer:-
∴ The given equation- 49x+9= 49x+83 has no solutions. Also, 3m - 87 = 3m + 87 & 700y = 700y - 100 are examples of 2 equations with the same number of solutions that the given equation has i.e. no solutions.

Two rival dry cleaners both advertise their prices. Let x equal the number of items dry cleaned. Store A’s prices are represented by the equation 15x - 2. Store B’s prices are represented by the expression 3 (5x + 7). When do the two stores charge the same rate ? Explain.
Mathematical expressions are made up of at least two numbers or variables, one math operation, and a sentence. This mathematical operation allows you to multiply, divide, add, or subtract numbers.
¶Types of Expression
1. Arithmetic operators and numbers make up a mathematical numerical expression. There are no symbols for undefined variables, equality, or inequality.
2. Unknown variables, numerical values, and arithmetic operators make up an algebraic expression. There are no symbols for equality or inequality in it.
¶In contrast to equations, the equal (=) operator is used between two mathematical expressions. Expressions denote a combination of numbers, variables, and operation symbols. The "equal to" sign also has the same value on both sides.
