Math Problem Statement
Solution
Let's go through and solve each equation one by one from the image you provided. I’ll also determine how many solutions each equation has, as requested.
15.
Subtract from both sides: Divide by 5: Solution: (one solution)
16.
Expand both sides: Subtract from both sides: This is always true, so the equation has infinitely many solutions.
17.
Subtract from both sides: Divide by : Solution: (one solution)
18.
Simplify the left-hand side: Divide by 4: Solution: (one solution)
19.
Simplify both sides: Subtract from both sides: Divide by 4: Solution: (one solution)
20.
Expand the right-hand side: Subtract from both sides: This is never true, so the equation has no solutions.
21.
Combine like terms: Add to both sides: Add 5 to both sides: Divide by 14: Solution: (one solution)
22.
Expand both sides: Simplify: This is always true, so the equation has infinitely many solutions.
23.
First, expand the right-hand side: Add to both sides: This is never true, so the equation has no solutions.
Summary:
- 15: (one solution)
- 16: Infinitely many solutions
- 17: (one solution)
- 18: (one solution)
- 19: (one solution)
- 20: No solution
