Answer 1

B 2x - 31 = -2x - 31 have exactly one solution

Explanation:

Which of the following equations have exactly one solution?

Choose all answers that apply:

A 2x - 31 = 2x - 31

B 2x - 31 = -2x - 31

C 2x + 31 = 2x - 31

D 2x - 2 = 2x - 31

A. 2x - 31 = 2x - 31

2x-31=2x-31

Collect like terms

2x-2x= -31+31

0=0

Infinite number of solutions

B 2x - 31 = -2x - 31

2x - 31 = -2x - 31

Collect like terms

2x+2x=-31+31

4x=0

x=0

One solution

C 2x + 31 = 2x - 31

2x + 31 = 2x - 31

Collect like terms

2x-2x= -31-31

0= -62

No solution

D 2x - 2 = 2x - 31

2x - 2 = 2x - 31

Collect like terms

2x-2x= -31+2

0= -29

No solution
