@TheSmartOne

OpenStudy (gorv):

both side should be equal to have infinite solution

TheSmartOne (thesmartone):

mx+3mx-36+14=11x-22+5x

TheSmartOne (thesmartone):

For it to be infinite solution both sides have to be equal...

TheSmartOne (thesmartone):

4mx-22=16x-22

TheSmartOne (thesmartone):

You get that^^ once you combine all your like terms...

TheSmartOne (thesmartone):

So what do you think m=?
