The number of x's on both sides of the equation is different a≠b
The number of x's is the same on both sides of the equation, and the constant is different a=b, c1≠c2
The number of x's is the same on both sides of the equation and the constant is also the same a=b, c1=c2
The number of x's on both sides of the equation is different a≠b
The number of x's on both sides of the equation is different a≠b
Correct! When the number of x's on both sides of the equation is different (a≠b), the equation will have exactly one solution.
The number of x's is the same on both sides of the equation, and the constant is different a=b, c1≠c2
Correct! When the number of x's is the same on both sides of the equation and the constant is different (a=b, c1≠c2), the equation will have exactly one solution.
The number of x's is the same on both sides of the equation, and the constant is different a=b, c1≠c2 how many solutions will it have
Apologies for the confusion in my previous response. When the number of x's is the same on both sides of the equation and the constants are different (a=b, c1≠c2), the equation will have no solutions.
The number of x's is the same on both sides of the equation and the constant is also the same a=b, c1=c2 how many solutions are there
When the number of x's is the same on both sides of the equation and the constants are also the same (a=b, c1=c2), the equation will have infinitely many solutions.
The number of x's on both sides of the equation is different a≠ how many solutions are there
When the number of x's on both sides of the equation is different (a≠b), the equation will still have exactly one solution.

Divide both sides of the inequality by 4 to simplify: x4−32<x
Divide both sides of the inequality by 4 to simplify: x4−32<x
Multiply both sides by x to get the "x" terms on the same side of the inequality: x−6<4
Multiply both sides by x to get the "x" terms on the same side of the inequality: x−6<4
Divide both sides of the inequality by x to simplify: 1−6x<4
x<6
Divide both sides of the inequality by x to simplify: 1−6x<4
x<6
Multiply both sides by 4 to clear the inequality of fractions: 4x−24<x
Divide both sides of the inequality by 4 to simplify: x/4 - 3/2 < x
This is the correct first step.
Divide both sides of the inequality by x to simplify: 1 - 6/x < 4
This is the correct solution.
THE LAST ONE I WRONG I JS TALKED TO A TUTOR THE ANSWER IS A CS U MULTIPLY 4
I apologize for the confusion. Yes, you are correct. The correct first step would be to multiply both sides of the inequality by 4 in order to clear the inequality of fractions.
So the correct first step is:
Multiply both sides by 4 to clear the inequality of fractions: 4x - 24 < x.
