Answer:

  • 7x+1
  • 6x+1
  • 7x+5

Explanation:

No Solutions

There will be no solutions when the left side is inconsistent with the right side:

2x +5 +2x +3x = 7x +1

7x +5 = 7x +1 . . . . . . no value of x will make this true

__

One Solution

There will be one solution when the left side and right side are not inconsistent and not the same.

2x +5 +2x +3x = 6x +1

7x +5 = 6x +1

x = -4 . . . . . . . . add -6x-5 to both sides

__

Infinitely Many Solutions

There will be an infinite number of solutions when the equation is true for any value of x. This will be the case when the left side and right side are identical.

2x +5 +2x +3x = 7x +5

7x +5 = 7x +5 . . . . . true for all values of x

Comment on these solutions

You have not provided the contents of any of the drop-down menus, so we cannot say for certain what the answers should be--except in the case of "infinitely many solutions." For "no solutions", the coefficient of x must be 7 and the constant must not be 5. For "one solution" the coefficient of x cannot be 7, and the constant can be anything.
