Question

Which equation has no solutions?

1. 2(x + 3) = 3(2x + 2)
2. -x + 3 + 5x = 4x + 3
3. 2(2x – 10) + 32 = 4(x+3)
4. 3(5x + 4) – 20 = 15x -4

Answer 1

3(5x + 4) – 20 = 15x -4

Explanation:

2x + 6 = 6x + 6 One solution 4x = 0

4x + 3 = 4x + 3 infinite solutions

4x + 12 = 4x + 12 infinite solutions

15x - 8 = 15x - 4 no solutions -8 ≠ -4

I solved the problems ahead of time if you need the work tell me.

No solution would mean that there is no answer to the equation. It is impossible for the equation to be true no matter what value we assign to the variable. Infinite solutions would mean that any value for the variable would make the equation true. Note that we have variables on both sides of the equation.

Answer 2

4. 3(5x+4)-20=15x-4 has no solution

Explanation:

3(5x+4)-20 = 15x - 4

15x-8=15x-4

15x = 15x+4

0=4

No Solution
