Math Problem Statement

Which of the following equations have no solutions? Choose all answers that apply: Choose all answers that apply: (Choice A)
[29x+29=29x-11] A [29x+29=29x-11] (Choice B)
[29x+92=29x-11] B [29x+92=29x-11] (Choice C)
[29x+11=29x-11] C [29x+11=29x-11] (Choice D)
[29x-29=29x-11] D [29x-29=29x-11]

Solution

To determine which equations have no solutions, we can simplify each equation and check whether they lead to a contradiction.

Choice A:

29x+29=29x1129x + 29 = 29x - 11 Subtract 29x29x from both sides: 29=1129 = -11 This is a contradiction, so Choice A has no solutions.


Choice B:

29x+92=29x1129x + 92 = 29x - 11 Subtract 29x29x from both sides: 92=1192 = -11 This is also a contradiction, so Choice B has no solutions.


Choice C:

29x+11=29x1129x + 11 = 29x - 11 Subtract 29x29x from both sides: 11=1111 = -11 This is a contradiction as well, so Choice C has no solutions.


Choice D:

29x29=29x1129x - 29 = 29x - 11 Subtract 29x29x from both sides: 29=11-29 = -11 This is a contradiction too, so Choice D has no solutions.


Conclusion:

All of the given equations lead to contradictions and therefore have no solutions. Thus, the correct answer is:

  • Choice A
  • Choice B
  • Choice C
  • Choice D
