Practice identifying solutions to linear
equations
Adam solved this equation and identified the number of solutions.
24x - 22 = 4(6x - 1)
24x - 22 = 24x - 4
24x = 24x + 18
0 = 18
The equation has infinitely many solutions.
When Adam verified his answer, it didn't work. What was his mistake?
a. He used the distributive property incorrectly in the first step
b. He used the addition property of equality incorrectly in the second step
c. he should of found that the equation has one solution of x=18
d. he should have found that there are no solutions because the statement is
false - ANS - d
\Complete the equation so it has infinitely many solutions
4x + 7 = 4(x + 3) - ? - ANS - 5
\Examine the equation
.-2(-x + 9) = 2(x - 9)
2x - 18 = 2x - 18
This equation has:
A. one solution
B. infinitely many solutions
C. no solution - ANS - B. infinitely many solutions
\Examine the equation.
4(x - 3) = 4x - 12
Which of the following is true? (Check all that apply.)
a. It is a true statement.
