Final answer:
The equation 1 = mz - 3 does not have infinitely many solutions for any value of m provided in the options. Therefore, none of the options are correct as they do not satisfy the condition for infinitely many solutions.
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the value of m that results in the equation having infinitely many solutions, we first simplify the given equation. The initial expression on the left side, 2(2 - 4) + 5, simplifies to:
- 2 × (2 - 4) = 2 × (-2) = -4
- -4 + 5 = 1
Therefore, our equation becomes 1 = mz - 3. For the equation to have infinitely many solutions, the left side must equal the right side for all values of z. This can only happen if m is 0 because
- If m = 0, then mz = 0
- Therefore, 1 = 0 - 3 simplifies to 1 = -3, which is never true for any value of z
Hence, there are no infinitely many solutions for any given value of m in this case. The options provided in the question do not result in infinitely many solutions. Consequently, none of the options a) m = 2, b) m = -2, c) m = 0, d) m = 1 are correct.
