Complete Question:

Complete each equation, so the statement about its solution is true.

No solutions:

6-3+4x+1= __x + __

One solution:

6-3+4x+1= __x + __

Infinitely many solutions:

6-3+4x+1 = __x + __

Answer:


4 + 4x = 4x + 3 --- No solution


4 + 4x = 3x + 2 --- One solution


4 + 4x = 4 + 4x --- Infinitely Many solution

Explanation:

Solving (a): No solutions

6-3+4x+1= __x + __

Collect like terms

6-3+1+4x= __x + __

4+4x= __x + __

To get no solution, the coefficient of x on both sides must be the same. However, the constant must be different.

So, we can equate the expression to:


4 + 4x = 4x + 3

Solving (b): One solution

6-3+4x+1= __x + __

This gives (same as (a))

4+4x= __x + __

To get one solution, the coefficient of x on both sides must be different. The constant can have any value.

So, we can equate the expression to:


4 + 4x = 3x + 2

Solving (c): Infinitely many solutions

6-3+4x+1= __x + __

This gives (same as (a))

4+4x= __x + __

To get infinitely many solutions, both sides of the equation must be equal.

So:


4 + 4x = 4 + 4x
