For which value of h will the equation below
result in an infinite number of solutions?
(3x - 8)h = -27x + 72

Answer 1

h = -9

Explanation:

Try to make the left hand side and the right hand side equal. By dividing like

h = (-27x+72)/(3x-8)

= [-9(3x-8)]/(3x-8)

= -9

When both sides are equal, you can't find the value of x as there are infinitely many solutions of x.
