1. Which of the following equations has infinitely many solutions?
3x + 5 = 3x - 2
2(x + 4) = 2x + 8
5x - 10 = 15
x + 7 = x - 7
2. An equation has no solution if, after simplifying, you end up with:
A true statement (e.g., 5 = 5)
A false statement (e.g., 0 = 7)
x = a constant (e.g., x = 3)
x = x
3. The equation 6x - 4 = 2(3x - 2) has exactly one solution.
True
False
4. If an equation simplifies to 0 = -5, it has no solution.
True
False
5. An equation that is always true, no matter the value of the variable, has solutions.
6. When solving an equation, if you arrive at a contradiction like 10 = 8, the equation has solution.
7. Determine if the equation 4x - 8 = 4(x - 2) has one solution, no solution, or infinitely many solutions. Explain your reasoning.
8. For what value of 'a' would the equation ax + 5 = 3x + 5 have infinitely many solutions? Justify your answer.
9. Consider the system of equations: y = 2x + 3 y = 2x - 1 Describe what the graphs of these two equations would look like and explain what that implies about the number of solutions for the system. Draw them on the graph below.
