4(3x + 2) = 4(2x + 3) + 4x
10(x + 4) – 3 = 14x + 1
(10x + 15) – Ž = 2x + 6 + 3x

Final answer:

After simplifying and solving each equation, the first has no solution, while the second and third have one solution each.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are tasked with dragging the number of solutions to match each given equation. Let's analyze each equation step by step to determine the number of solutions.

Solution Steps:

  1. Simplify the equations by expanding and combining like terms.
  2. Rearrange the equation to solve for x.
  3. Determine the number of solutions based on the simplified form of the equation.

The first equation, 4(3x + 2) = 4(2x + 3) + 4x, simplifies to 12x + 8 = 8x + 12 + 4x. Combining like terms gives us 12x + 8 = 12x + 12. Subtracting 12x from both sides, we get 8 = 12, which is untrue. Therefore, this equation has no solution.

The second equation, 10(x + 4) – 3 = 14x + 1, simplifies to 10x + 40 – 3 = 14x + 1. Combining like terms gives us 10x + 37 = 14x + 1. Rearranging to solve for x, we subtract 10x from both sides and get 37 = 4x + 1. Subtracting 1 from both sides gives us 36 = 4x, and dividing by 4, we get x = 9. This equation has one solution.

The third equation, (10x + 15) – ½ = 2x + 6 + 3x, simplifies to 10x + 14.5 = 5x + 6. Subtracting 5x from both sides, we get 5x + 14.5 = 6. Subtracting 14.5 from both sides gives us 5x = -8.5, and dividing by 5, we get x = -1.7. This equation has one solution.

As a result, the correct order of the number of solutions corresponding to the equations given is:

  1. No solution
  2. One solution
  3. One solution
