Question

PLS HELP ME ASAP!!!

For which values of P and Q does the following equation have infinitely many solutions?

73x+P=Qx+71

Choose all that apply:
A. P=71 and Q=73
B. P=144 and Q= -2
C. P=2 and Q=144
D. P=144 and Q=2

Answer 1

The correct answer is:

A. P=71 and Q=73

Step-by-step explanation:

To have infinitely many solutions, one line would need to lay over the other. The only values of P and Q that will make this true will make the equations identical; this means Q must be the same as the coefficient of x on the left side, or 73; and P must be the same as the constant on the right side, or 71.
