Question

1.
Which of the following equations has exactly one real solution?

A. 5(x + 10) = 5x + 50
B. 7x + 10 = -5x - 18
C. 7x + 10 = 7x - 18
D. 5x + 10 = 5x + 10

Answer 1

What do you think it is? @samanthagreer

Answer 2

Give me your best guess.

Answer 3

d

Answer 4

the one that you can solve for 1 sol

Answer 5

x=number

Answer 6

Okay well lets work on this @samanthagreer

Answer 7

Lets first start with A.

Answer 8

Lets try and solve it by distributing 5(x+10)

Answer 9

Do you know how to distribute @samanthagreer

Answer 10

A is the same thing on both sides, you get a true statement, x can be anything, infinite solutions

Answer 11

multiply 5 times what is in the perentaces

Answer 12

Okay yes so when you do that 5(x+10) would become 5x+50! So now what is the answer?

Answer 13

55x

Answer 14

B looks like you can solve for x=

C turns into a False statement, or No solutions

Answer 15

@samanthagreer so using the info I just gave you what is the answeR?

Answer 16

@DanJS you got this lol

Answer 17

A

Answer 18

each of these is sort of like solving a system of two linear equations y = mx+b, setting them equal will tell you what x values may have a point where the two lines cross and a solution`

Answer 19

like A) is a line y = 5(x+10) and another y = 5x+50

they are the same line, think of them as overlapping each other at an infinite number of points, solutions

Answer 20

wait its b

Answer 21

right

Answer 22

those two intersect , the solution is a value for x for that intersection point

Answer 23

yes, you can solve b) for a value of x

Answer 24

ok thanks for the hel pi will give you a medal if you give tom one

Answer 25

C) gives you 10=-18, false, the two lines are parallel, never intersecting,

Answer 26

no solutions in that case

Answer 27
