Question

-17(y-2) = -17y + 64

Answer 1

No solution.

Explanation:

Step 1: Write equation

-17(y - 2) = -17y + 64

Step 2: Solve for y

1. Distribute -17: -17y + 34 = -17y + 64
2. Add 17y on both sides: 34 ≠ 64

Here we see that we get y = no solution. You could also think about it as 2 parallel lines; they have the same slope but different y-intercepts so therefore there will be no intersection/no solution.
