Can anyone please help me solve this?
-v + 5 + 6v = 1 + 5v + 3
-v + 5 + 6v = 1 + 5v + 3
-6v + 6v = -1
0 = -1
This is a false statement, so there is no solution to your equation.
in general, if the variables drop out, and you end up with a false statement,
like above, there is no solution.
if the variables drop out, and you end up with a TRUE statement, there will be an infinite number of solutions.
e.g. 2(x+1) = 2x + 2
2x + 2 = 2x + 2
2 = 2 , every value of x you choose will be a solution.
Thank you!
Sure, I'd be happy to help you solve this equation!
To solve for 'v', we need to gather the terms with 'v' on one side of the equation and move the constant terms to the other side. The goal is to isolate the variable 'v'.
Let's follow the steps:
1. Start by grouping the terms with 'v' on one side:
-v + 6v - 5v = 1 + 3 - 5
2. Simplify the equation:
0v = -1
3. Since any number multiplied by zero is zero, we have:
0 = -1
At this point, we have a contradiction since zero can never equal -1. Therefore, this equation has no solution.
I hope this helps! If you have any further questions, please let me know.
