Answer 2

if x can be any number, how many solutions do you think?

Answer 3

the question is just as straight forward as you probably think

Answer 4

i think it is D

Answer 5

you got it

Answer 6

Are you 100% sure?

Answer 7

yes, plug in any value, for x and you will be able to have an infinite amount of y-values

Answer 8

being more explicit, there is only one solution for each ecuation x forms.

Answer 9

@VeritasVosLiberabit can you help me in a couple more plz?

Answer 10

is a tricky question though.

Answer 11

wait what? so its not D?

Answer 12

I was pretty sure for D bro, but it says " If x can be any number" For example: if x=1 you got one solution, if x=0 you got one solution. X can be any number but it always gives you one solution no matter what number you substitute.

Answer 13

that's the trouble here.

Answer 14

oh... so its B

Answer 15

interesting point Morris, let's think about it some more then

Answer 16

I go for B, hard question though lol

Answer 17

ok thx for helping me guys!

Answer 18

In many equations, there can be multiple values that satisfy the equation, so I think if it says that x can be any value, it is saying that any value can satisfy the equation, therefore it should be many solutions.

Answer 19

SO...... i am confused

Answer 20

is it B or D?!?!?!

Answer 21

Jesus this would be a madness lol

Answer 22

I think it is D, since any value satisfies the equation. You have to take all possible values into account as a solution to y

Answer 23

lol

Answer 24

ok sooo... who is 100% sure about their answer?

Answer 25

@AwesomeSays3! perhaps you should get a third opinion, but D still seems like the most accurate answer in my opinion

Answer 26

I have about 90% confidence.

Answer 27

ok

Answer 28

you gotta tell us tomorrow which is the solution, I wanna know this xD

Answer 29

And you Morris?

Answer 30

I am 85% sure bro, as it is a linear ecuation and x cannot take all values at the same time.

Answer 31

Just googled a similar question almost the same and it agrees that D is correct

Answer 32

x can take any value, but not all of them at the same time, so it got to throw us only one solution.

Answer 34

ok i will go with D! :D

Answer 35

@MorrisSHM you want to consider all possible solutions to y

Answer 36

morris and Veritas can you help me in a couple more questions plz?

Answer 37

sure, make a new question and I can help

Answer 38

no problem :)
