Question

Can someone help me on this equation b+0.17b=1.17b​

Answer 1

b has infinite solutions.

Explanation:

b + 0.17b = 1.17b

Minus 0.17b from both sides

b = 1.17b - 0.17b

b = 1b

b = b

What?!??! We'll of course b = b.

What does that tell us? b can be any number. Therefore:

'b has infinite solutions'
