Math Problem Statement

Solve each equation. Write how many solutions it has.

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. 4h+5=9h4h + 5 = 9h

4h+5=9h4h + 5 = 9h Subtract 4h4h from both sides: 5=5h5 = 5h Divide by 5: h=1h = 1 Solution: h=1h = 1 (one solution)


16. 2(3x6)=3(2x4)2(3x - 6) = 3(2x - 4)

Expand both sides: 6x12=6x126x - 12 = 6x - 12 Subtract 6x6x from both sides: 12=12-12 = -12 This is always true, so the equation has infinitely many solutions.


17. 7t=80+9t7t = 80 + 9t

7t=80+9t7t = 80 + 9t Subtract 9t9t from both sides: 2t=80-2t = 80 Divide by 2-2: t=40t = -40 Solution: t=40t = -40 (one solution)


18. m+3m=4m + 3m = 4

Simplify the left-hand side: 4m=44m = 4 Divide by 4: m=1m = 1 Solution: m=1m = 1 (one solution)


19. b+4b=8bb-b + 4b = 8b - b

Simplify both sides: 3b=7b3b = 7b Subtract 3b3b from both sides: 0=4b0 = 4b Divide by 4: b=0b = 0 Solution: b=0b = 0 (one solution)


20. 6p+1=3(2p+1)6p + 1 = 3(2p + 1)

Expand the right-hand side: 6p+1=6p+36p + 1 = 6p + 3 Subtract 6p6p from both sides: 1=31 = 3 This is never true, so the equation has no solutions.


21. 10z5+3z=8z10z - 5 + 3z = 8 - z

Combine like terms: 13z5=8z13z - 5 = 8 - z Add zz to both sides: 14z5=814z - 5 = 8 Add 5 to both sides: 14z=1314z = 13 Divide by 14: z=1314z = \frac{13}{14} Solution: z=1314z = \frac{13}{14} (one solution)


22. 3(g1)+7=3g+43(g - 1) + 7 = 3g + 4

Expand both sides: 3g3+7=3g+43g - 3 + 7 = 3g + 4 Simplify: 3g+4=3g+43g + 4 = 3g + 4 This is always true, so the equation has infinitely many solutions.


23. 1720q=(135q)417 - 20q = (-13 - 5q)4

First, expand the right-hand side: 1720q=5220q17 - 20q = -52 - 20q Add 20q20q to both sides: 17=5217 = -52 This is never true, so the equation has no solutions.


Summary:

  1. 15: h=1h = 1 (one solution)
  2. 16: Infinitely many solutions
  3. 17: t=40t = -40 (one solution)
  4. 18: m=1m = 1 (one solution)
  5. 19: b=0b = 0 (one solution)
  6. 20: No solution
  7. 21: z=1314z = \frac{13}{14} (one solution)
  8. 22: Infinitely many solutions
  9. 23: No solution
