Math Problem Statement
Match each equation on the left to its solution on the right. Some answer choices on the right will be used more than once.
Solution
Let's go through each equation from the image and solve it step-by-step to match it with the correct solution.
-
Equation:
- Combine like terms:
- Solution:
-
Equation:
- Expand both sides:
- Subtract from both sides:
- This is a contradiction, so there is no solution.
-
Equation:
- Subtract from both sides:
- This is also a contradiction, so there is no solution.
-
Equation:
- Expand the right-hand side:
- Add to both sides:
- This is always true, meaning the solution is all real numbers.
Final Matching:
- →
- → No solution
- → No solution
- → all real numbers
