Question

Which expressions would complete this equation so that it has infinitely many solutions?

8 + 2(8x – 6) =

Choose exactly two answers that are correct.

A.
2(4x + 7)

B.
9x – 10

C.
16x – 4

D.
4(4x – 1)

Answer 1

For a any equation, there can only be an infinite number of solution if the equation is the same.

Answer 2

When you combine like terms, you get:
16x-4

Answer 3

So, get the two equations that equal 16x-4

Answer 4

im still confused :/

Answer 5

No problem, so, first distribute 2 in the equation they give you:
8 + 2(8x-6).
When you do so, when you distribute the 2, what do you get?

Answer 6

8+16x-12?

Answer 7

Good, now combine like terms.

Answer 8

If you don't know entirely what that means, it means add and subtract the things you can; for example:
1+2+3, are all like terms, so you can add them.
x+2x+3x are also like terms, so you can add them.
x+2 are not like terms, so you cannot add them.

Answer 9

ok..... but I still need some help.

Answer 10

Answer 11

@StudyGurl14

Answer 12

So, you got:
8+16x-12
You can only subtract the 12 from the 8.
16x-4

Answer 13

You can then factor out a number that 16 and 4 have in common.
In this case, it is 4.
4(4x-1)

Answer 14

Still need more help?

Answer 15

yes please! I have to find exactly 2 answers that are correct.

Answer 16

Yeah, it is c and d.
16x-4 is what we got after simplifying the equation they gave us.
4(4x-1) is what we got after factoring out.

Answer 17

Thank you so much :D
