Question

is 4(x+1)=3x+4 a...
one solution
no solution
infinitely many sloutions

Answer 1

This is a similar problem to the one before.
so you first distribute the left side of the eqn
then solve for x from there. Ill help if you need it

Answer 2

i get 4x+4=3x+4

Answer 3

Okay good, so now you can combine like terms. What you want to do is isolate and solve you x.
You can start by subtracting 4 and 3x on both sides

Answer 4

This allows you to move x to one side and see what value it equals to.

Answer 5

i got x+4=4

Answer 6

yep, now subtract 4 from both sides

Answer 7

i get x=0

Answer 8

so what is the correct answer?

Answer 9

no solution?

Answer 10

Well since x=0, we do have a solution. Remember no solution is like when 4=3 because that is a false solution. x=0 is a true solution. So the correct solution is "one solution"

Answer 11

so it would be one solution?

Answer 12

^ yes, you are correct
