Question

Solve each equation, if possible. Note how many solutions there are. If there are 1 or 2 solutions, put the solutions in the answer box below, otherwise leave it blank.5(3y – 2) - 1 = 4y - 2 + 11yHow many solutions are there?Select an answer:What are the solutions?

Answer 1

No solution

Explanation:

We have the following equation:

`5\mleft(3y\: -\: 2\mright)\: -\: 1\: =\: 4y\: -\: 2\: +\: 11y`

We reduce the equation and we would be left with the following:

`\begin{gathered} 15y-10-1=15y-2 \\ 15y-11=15y-2 \\ -11=-2 \end{gathered}`

Which means that the equation cannot be solved since it has no solution
