Question

How many solutions does the following equation have? -14(z-5)=-14x+70

Answer 1

Infinite amount of solutions

Explanation:

Parallel lines have no solution

Same lines have infinite solutions

Intersecting lines have 1 solution

Step 1: Write out equation

-14(x - 5) = -14x + 70

Step 2: Distribute -14

-14x + 70 = -14x + 70

Here we see that we have 2 exact same lines. Therefore, we have infinite amount of solutions.

Alternatively, we can plug in any number x and it would work. So then we would have infinite amount of solutions as well.
