Question 1

Without solving, what can you tell about the solution to
this equation?
b + 14
(b + 14)
2
1 / 116
There is no solution.
There are infinitely
many solutions.
b is equal to 1 only.
b is equal to 0 only.

Answer 1

Answer: there is no solution.

Step-by-step explanation:

We can see mentally that when we multiply both sides by 2, we will be left with b+14 on both sides which will cancel out ( “b” will cancel out) so there is no solution.

Answer 2

there are infinitely many solutions

Explanation:

1/2(b+14) is the same as (b+14)/2, so no matter what number you plug in for b, both sides will always be equal. thus, there is infinitely many solutions.
