Question

9(2x + 10) = 2(9x+ 45)

Answer 1

infinitely many solutions

Explanation:

1) distribute 9 to each term inside parenthesis on left side of equation

18x+90=2(9x+45)

2)now distribute 2

18x+90=18x+90

these equations are exactly the same! this means that this equation has infinitely many solutions

Hope this helps!

Answer 2

infinite solutions

Explanation:

9(2x + 10) = 2(9x+ 45)

Distribute

18x+90 = 18x +90

Subtract 18x from each side

18x-18x+90 = 18x-18x+90

90=90

Since this is always true, the equation has infinite solutions.
