Which BEST describes the number of solutions for the given equation?
Responses
A one solution
B two solutions
C infinitely many solutions
D no solution
Question 2
Which equation has infinitely many solutions?
Responses
A 9x − 3 = 3x + 6x + 2 + 3
B 12(x + 8) = 11x − 5
C 11x − 2x + 15 = 8 + 7 + 9x
D 5x − 8 = 11 − 7x + 12x
Question 1: The equation given has one solution.
Question 2: The equation "12(x + 8) = 11x − 5" has infinitely many solutions.
