Consider the equation
10x - 4 = ax + b
Find a value for a and a value for b so the equation has only one solution.
Show your work
a=
b=

Answer 1

Answer:

a = 2 and b = 6.

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation is given by $10x - 4 = ax + b\\(10 - a)x = 4 + b\\x = \frac{ 4 + b}{(10 - a)}$.

The given equation is a one degree polynomial, hence it has only one solution whatever the value of a and b will be.

If the value of a is 10, then the solution of the equation will be undefined.

Hence, a is any real number rather than 10.

As for example, a = 2 and b = 6.
