Math Problem Statement
Solution
The problem asks, "Which of the following equations have no solutions?" The equations provided are:
- A:
- B:
- C:
- D:
To find which equations have no solutions, we can analyze them one by one.
A:
Subtracting from both sides: This is a contradiction, so A has no solutions.
B:
Subtracting from both sides: This is also a contradiction, so B has no solutions.
C:
Subtracting from both sides: This is a contradiction, so C has no solutions.
D:
Subtracting from both sides: This is another contradiction, so D has no solutions.
Conclusion:
All the equations A, B, C, and D have no solutions.
Would you like more details on how to handle such contradictions, or do you have any other questions?
Here are 5 questions that build on this:
- What are the general conditions for an equation to have no solutions?
- How do equations with no solutions differ from those with infinite solutions?
- Can a system of linear equations also have no solutions? If so, why?
- How can you identify equations that have infinite solutions?
- What happens when you subtract variables from both sides, and how can you identify contradictions earlier?
Tip: Equations with no solutions often simplify to a false statement like , where and are constants and .
