Math Problem Statement

Classify each equation as having No Solution, One Solution, or Infinitely Many Solutions: -4x + 4x = 0, -x = 7x - 8x, 5 - x = -x, x + 4 = x + 3, 6x - (3x + 8) = 16, 9 = 3(5x - 2).

Solution

To classify the equations in the image as having "No Solution," "One Solution," or "Infinitely Many Solutions," I will break each equation down mathematically:

  1. Equation: -4x + 4x = 0

    • Simplify: 0=00 = 0.
    • This is always true, meaning there are Infinitely Many Solutions.
  2. Equation: -x = 7x - 8x

    • Simplify 7x8x=x7x - 8x = -x: x=x-x = -x.
    • After simplifying, it becomes 0=00 = 0, so there are Infinitely Many Solutions.
  3. Equation: 5 - x = -x

    • Simplify: 5=05 = 0, which is a contradiction.
    • Therefore, this equation has No Solution.
  4. **Equation: x + = =

Let's analyze each equation step by step based on the uploaded image:

  1. Equation: -4x + 4x = 0

    • Simplify: 4x+4x=00=0-4x + 4x = 0 \rightarrow 0 = 0.
    • This is always true, meaning there are Infinitely Many Solutions.
  2. Equation: -x = 7x - 8x

    • Simplify: x=7x8xx=x-x = 7x - 8x \rightarrow -x = -x.
    • This is always true for any xx, meaning there are Infinitely Many Solutions.
  3. Equation: 5 - x = -x

    • Simplify: 5x=x5=05 - x = -x \rightarrow 5 = 0 (contradiction).
    • Since this leads to a false statement, the equation has No Solution.
  4. Equation: x + 4 = x + 3

    • Simplify: x+4=x+34=3x + 4 = x + 3 \rightarrow 4 = 3 (contradiction).
    • This leads to a false statement, so the equation has No Solution.
  5. Equation: 6x - (3x + 8) = 16

    • Simplify: 6x3x8=163x8=163x=24x=86x - 3x - 8 = 16 \rightarrow 3x - 8 = 16 \rightarrow 3x = 24 \rightarrow x = 8.
    • This gives a specific solution (x=8x = 8), so it has One Solution.
  6. Equation: 9 = 3(5x - 2)

    • Simplify: 9=15x615x=15x=19 = 15x - 6 \rightarrow 15x = 15 \rightarrow x = 1.
    • This gives a specific solution (x=1x = 1), so it has One Solution.

Classification:

  • No Solution: x+4=x+3x + 4 = x + 3, 5x=x5 - x = -x.
  • One Solution: 6x(3x+8)=166x - (3x + 8) = 16, 9=3(5x2)9 = 3(5x - 2).
  • Infinitely Many Solutions: 4x+4x=0-4x + 4x = 0, x=7x8x-x = 7x - 8x.
