Question

25POINTS PLEASE ANSWER NEED HELP BAD AND IM ON AN ALT BC I RAN OUT OF POINTS (I've made 3 alts so far to answer this question so plz help and asked on my main acc as well)

To determine whether they used the same number of tiles, set the two expressions equal to each other and solve for x. Is there a solution for x? Why or why not? If there is a solution, what is it?



Here is the equation stuff to solve:


Expression for the number of tiles Bruce used : 5x+2



Expression for the number of tiles Felicia used : 5x + 5




How could you change the equation so it has infinitely many solutions? What would infinitely many solutions mean in terms of the situation?

Answer 1

Change the +2 from Bruce number of tiles to +5. Infinitely many solutions would mean that they have a equal amount of tiles I think.

Explanation:

5x+2=5x+5

2=5

All real numbers
