Question

The equation 7(2W + 3) = 14W + 20 has no solutions. Change one term in the original equation to create a new equation with one solution.​

Answer 1

change the 2w

Explanation:

=> 7 ( 3w + 3 ) = 14w + 20

=> 21 w + 21 = 14w + 20

=> 7 w = -1

=> w = -1/7

So everything is now evident. Change the value of 2w to anything else to alter the equation's result. Try 3w, 3.5w, or even 1w or 1.5w if you can.

Hope it have been helpful.

Answer 2

change the 2w value

Explanation:

first, check the equation:

14w + 21 = 14w + 20

when subtracting the 14w from both sides you can see that

21 is NOT EQUAL to 20, making the answer NS.

now, reread the question... create a new equation with ONE solution.

to fix this, we need to change the amount of W's, NOT the amount of constant.

let's try out another number in place of 2w

7 ( 3w + 3 ) = 14w + 20

21 w + 21 = 14w + 20

7 w = -1

w = -1/7

so now it is clear. to change the outcome of the equation, try out another value instead of 2w. Maybe try 3w, 3.5w, or maybe even 1w, or 1.5w .
