Two
Infinitely many

Answer 1

@Baby_Bear69

Answer 2

solve for x
if you get equal sides

like 5=5 thats mean Infinitely many solutions
and if you get x= something (then you will have one solution)
and both sides are not equal like 4=9 then there is no solution

Answer 3

one?

Answer 4

how ?

Answer 5

Zero

Answer 6

It would be zero because theres no way 5x+10 could equal 5x - 8

Answer 7

one more?

Answer 8

5x+10=5x−8
Subtract 5x from both sides.
5x+10−5x=5x−8−5x
10=−8
Subtract 10 from both sides.
10−10=−8−10
0=−18

NO SOLUTION! :D

Answer 19

What is the value of x in the equation 2(2x − 5 − 4) = 160 − 17?

40.25
62.25
80.25
143.0

Answer 20

let her think about it for a sec :)

Answer 21

2(2x−5−4)=160−17
(2)(2x)+(2)(−5)+(2)(−4)=160+−17(Distribute)
4x+−10+−8=160+−17
(4x)+(−10+−8)=(160+−17)(Combine Like Terms)
4x+−18=143
4x−18=143
Add 18 to both sides.
4x−18+18=143+18
4x=161
Divide both sides by 4.
4x/4=16/14

x= ?

U can finish it up.
