Select one: a. There will be 1 finite answer b. There will be 2 finite answers c. The only answer is zero d. No solution

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i think no solution @prowrestler

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is this correct @ganeshie8

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

that may be correct/incorrect, don't you want to know when an equation will have or not have solutions ?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

what does an equation represent anyways ? \[\large \sqrt{x} +2 = \sqrt{x} + 3\] the left side exactly balances the right side ?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

can you find a value of \(\large x\) such that the above equation holds ?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

sorry to ask too many questions, but u seem to be only interested in answers and not in learning >.<

OpenStudy (anonymous):

im interested in learning

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i just was told the answer quickly and i wondered if it was right or not

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so i was asking you if D. no solution was correct

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

One way to work this by using equality properties : \[\large \sqrt{x} +2 = \sqrt{x} + 3\] you're allowed to add/subtract a same number both side, so subtracting \(\large \sqrt{x}\) both sides, you get : \[\large \sqrt{x} +2-\color{red}{\sqrt{x}} = \sqrt{x} + 3 - \color{red}{\sqrt{x}}\] combine like terms and simplify, what do u get ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no solution?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@prowrestler it means not equal acc. to your answer no solution

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

forget about options for now, you won't loose anything if u spend 10 minutes working this with me without rushing :o

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so how am i going to finish my work

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

\[\large \sqrt{x} +2-\color{red}{\sqrt{x}} = \sqrt{x} + 3 - \color{red}{\sqrt{x}}\] combine like terms, what do u get ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

im not sure how o combine like terms for this question

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

you get : \[\large \sqrt{x} -\color{red}{\sqrt{x}} +2= \sqrt{x} - \color{red}{\sqrt{x}} + 3\] simplify : \[\large 0+2= 0+ 3\] \[\large 2= 3\]

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

is it possible 2 to equal 3 ever ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

so can we say there are NO solutionsfor the given equations ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no u can't say bcoz i think @ganeshie8 know that are unequal but has solution,...isn't it @ganeshie8

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

thats it! next time do not ask for opinions of others, you should figure these out on ur own and convince urself... it is okay even if you are wrong... most important thing is you need to convince urself and never use opinions of others as ur guide in math (just saying )

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok then can you HELP me on others

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

sure, i can help u work these on your own.. these are tricky when u work first time, but you would understand these after doing 1-2 problems
