Question

Determine whether each equation has one solution, no solution or infinitely many solutions. 4x + 10 = 2(2x + 5) 4x - 5 = 4x + 10 4x - 5 = -5

Answer 1

see below

Explanation:

4x + 10 = 2(2x + 5)

Distribute

4x+10 = 4x+10

Since the left side is identical to the right side, there are infinite solutions

4x - 5 = 4x + 10

Subtract 4x from each side

-5 = 10

This is never true, so there are no solutions

4x-5 = -5

Add 5 to each side

4x = 0

x=0

There is one solutions
