Example Question #131 : Expressions & Equations
Select the option that describes the solution(s) for the following equation:
Infinitely many solutions
No solution
One solution
One solution
Let's begin by discussing our answer choices:
In order for an equation to have no solution, the equation, when solved, must equal a false statement; for example,
In order for an equation to have one solution, the equation, when solved for a variable, but equal a single value; for example,
In order for an equation to have infinitely many solutions, the equation, when solved, must equal a statement that is always true; for example,
To answer this question, we can solve the equation:
This equation equals a single value; thus, the correct answer is one solution.
