Question

Complete the equation so it has infinitely many solutions.

4x + 7 = 4(x + 3) –

Answer 1

help

Answer 2

To have an infinite number of solutions in this equation, we must solve for x and reach a point where we have "0x = 0."

Answer 3

ok

Answer 4

what do we do first

Answer 5

The missing term which we will call it 'y' is in the equation
4x + 7 = 4(x + 3) – y

Answer 6

Next you have to distribute 4 over the parentheses on right side
4x + 7 = 4x + 12 – y

Answer 7

Then substract 7 on both sides
4x + 7 - 7 = 4x + 12 – y - 7
4x = 4x + 5 – y

Answer 8

You now have minus 4x on both sides

Answer 9

4x - 4x = 4x + 5 – y - 4x

Answer 10

tell me what you get now

Answer 11

cancel out all the 4x terms and you will get it

Answer 12

@lizzie777 Are you there?

Answer 13

yes

Answer 14

is it 5

Answer 15

No, cancel out all the 4x terms in this equation and tell me what you are left with
4x - 4x = 4x + 5 – y - 4x

Answer 16

5 – y

Answer 17

Correct

Answer 18

so the missing piece is 0

Answer 19

wait no sorry

Answer 20

5 I mean

Answer 21

0x = 5 - y
the equation will have infinitely many solutions if the right side is 0
5 - y = 0
5 = y

Answer 22

the answer is 5

Answer 23

Yes.
