Question

How many solutions does the equation 5x + 10 = 5x − 8 have?

Zero
One
Two
Infinitely many

Answer 1

What do you think it is?

Answer 2

Alright, it's infinitely many. I just learned this a couple days ago :)

Answer 3

@isabellewaab is incorrect

Answer 4

Well sorry :/ whoops my bad

Answer 5

When you have the x values with the same value but the integers are different \[\large \sf \color{red}{5x}\color{blue}{+10}=\color{red}{5x} \color{blue}{-8}\] that means that the two lines produced will be parallel

Answer 6

so two?

Answer 7

You know that parallel lines never meet right?

Answer 8

yes

Answer 9

Well the number of solutions is determined by the amount of times the two lines meet each other. So if they never meet, how many solutions will there be?

Answer 10

um zero

Answer 11

That matches one of your answers, right?

Answer 12

yes

Answer 13

Well then you have your answer

Answer 14
