Example Question #3 : Give Examples Of Linear Equations: Ccss.Math.Content.8.Ee.C.7a

Select the option that describes the solution(s) for the following equation:

 

Possible Answers:

One solution 

Infinitely many solutions 

No solution

Correct answer:

No solution

Explanation:

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 false statement; thus, the correct answer is no solution.
