Infinite.
Because no matter what value b will be, it will always be true.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
can u explain how u got that answer
OpenStudy (anonymous):
\[r+11+8r=29\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Take 0=-4b+4b
Substitute b for any number you can think of, will it still be equal to 0?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
I seriously dont understand wish someone would teach me!!!!!

What number do you want b to be? pick anything.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
5
OpenStudy (anonymous):
\[0=-4\times5+4\times5\]
\[0 = -20+20\]
\[0 =0\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
ok so anyway u can explain in detail how u come up with that i am starting to catch on

x+1=2
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Solve that one for x.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
how about 6r-1=6r=11
these i honestly dont understand how to solve
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Trust me I want to help you understand the basics, from there you'll solve any equation.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
please

So what would be the solution to x+1=2
OpenStudy (anonymous):
1?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
How many solutions does the equation have?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
2
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Solution means how many x=number are there.

In this case x=1
OpenStudy (anonymous):
still confused
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Meaning there's only one solution. If we take 1 and plug it into the original equation we will get this:
x+1=2
(1)+1=2
2=2
A true statement.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
1 is the only number in the world you can replace x with to get a true statement
OpenStudy (anonymous):
So it has only one solution, x=1.

okay, i need to figure out what r equals
OpenStudy (anonymous):
In here?
r+11+8r=29
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Or did you have a different question?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
okay, 6r-1+6r=11 i need to figure out what r equals
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Do you know how to combine like terms?

kind of
OpenStudy (anonymous):
12r-1=11
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Add +1 to both sides of the equation.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
12r=12
OpenStudy (anonymous):
divide both sides by 12

r=1
OpenStudy (anonymous):
If you substitute 1 for r in the original equation you will get 11=11
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Meaning that there is only one solution to that equation.

okay, thanks
