Question

Viktoriya solved an equation as shown below.

5 (x - 2) -3 x = 2 (x - 3) - 16
5 x - 10 -3 x = 2 x -6 = 16
2 x - 10 = 2 x - 22.
-10 = -22.

She says that the equation has infinitely many solutions. Which describes Viktoriya’s error?

A.) Viktoriya used the distributive property incorrectly when she found the solution.
B.) Viktoriya should have said that the equation has no solution.
C.) Viktoriya should have continued to solve the equation to find that x = 0.
D.) Viktoriya should have said that the equation has one unique solution.

Answer 1

I think it is B

Explanation:

Answer 2

B

Explanation:

When you finish solving an equation and find the answer to be that two numbers are equal to each other when they are in fact, this means that the equation has no solutions because not values could make it true. Hpope this helps!
