Read each question carefully and follow the instructions to solve for the given variables. Pay close attention to equations that may not have a solution.

1. Which of the following equations has no solution?

a

3x + 5 = 2x + 10

b

4x - 7 = 4x + 2

c

5(x - 2) = 5x - 10

d

2x + 3 = x + 3

2. When graphing a system of two linear equations that has no solution, what will the graphs look like?

a

Intersecting lines

b

Coinciding lines

c

Parallel lines

d

Perpendicular lines

3. An equation has no solution if, after simplifying, the variables cancel out and you are left with a   statement.

4. When solving a system of equations by substitution, if you arrive at a statement like 0 = 5, this indicates there is   solution.

5. Determine if the following equation has one solution, no solution, or infinitely many solutions. Justify your answer. 4(x + 1) = 4x + 5

6. A system of linear equations with the same slope but different y-intercepts will always have no solution.

T

True

F

False

7. Consider the system of equations: Equation 1: y = 3x + 2 Equation 2: 6x - 2y = 4 Show algebraically why this system has no solution.

8. Graph the following system of equations and explain how the graph illustrates that there is no solution: y = 2x + 1 y = 2x - 3
