Question

A student concluded that 0.5(6x + 4) = 3x+4 has no solution. Which statement BEST
describes the student's conclusion?
A. The conclusion is incorrect because there are two solutions to the equation.
B. The conclusion is incorrect because there is exactly one solution to the equation.
C. The conclusion is correct because the coefficient before the variable is equivalent.

Answer 1

Answer:

C best describes the conclusion.

Step-by-step explanation:

0.5(6x + 4) = = 3x + 4

3x + 2 = 3x + 4.

3x - 3x = 4 - 2

0 = 2

This is absurd so there is no solution.
