Question

11y + 16 - 9y - 10 = 2(y + 3)

I really need help solving this, the text book says it has to be infinite solutions

Answer 1

basically infinite

Explanation:

To solve this equation, we need to isolate the variable "y" on one side of the equation. We can do this by performing the same operation on both sides of the equation to eliminate the terms that contain "y".

First, we can combine the like terms on the left side of the equation to get 2y + 6. Then, we can combine the like terms on the right side of the equation to get 2y + 6.

This leaves us with the equation 2y + 6 = 2y + 6. Since the left side of the equation is equal to the right side of the equation, the equation is true for all values of "y".

Therefore, the solution to this equation is any value of "y".
