Question

Consider solving the equation for x .

3(3x+4)−5=ax+b

Which statements are true about the solution to the equation when substituting values for a and b as specified?
Select all that apply.

Answer 1

If a=9 and b=−2 , then there is no solution to the equation.




If a=−3 and b=−5 , then there are infinitely many solutions to the equation.




If a=−9 and b=13 , then there is no solution to the equation.




If a=−3 and b=4 , then there is exactly one solution to the equation.




If a=9 and b=7 , then there is exactly one solution to the equation.

Answer 2

plug them in

Answer 3

first write left side in the form ax + b

Answer 4

then plug in values of a and b given in the choices

Answer 5

distribute 3 over 3x + 4 then subtract 5
