help please?! How many solutions does the equation y + 12 = y + 10 + 2 have?
@Lovelarap
what do you think?
I thought it was one but I got it wrong xD
ok, try to solve it first...
add the left hand side: y+12=y+12 so.......
12+?
it's no solution: y+12=y+12 solve for y: y-y=12-12 no solution
ohhh omg the way I was taught was way different than this but i get it now thank you so much!!
your welcome! anytime!
@xxlyh Close please :).
y + 12 = y + 10 + 2 y + 12 = y + 12 y = y this is true for any y
* you are both incorrect so far
0 = 0 is true no matter what y is equal to
for example y could be 3 (3) + 12 = (3) + 10 + 2 15 = 15 or y could be -8 (-8) + 12 = (-8) + 10 + 2 4 = 4 y can be anything
^ he has point so it would mean all real number?
