Do You Understand? 1. GETTIN will a one-variable equation always have only one solution? No; Sample answer: A one-variable equation can have one solution, no solution, or infinitely many solutions, 2. Use Structure Kaylee writes the equ: 6x 4 12 = 23x + 6). Can you find the number ‘of solutions this equation has without solving for x? Explai Yes. Sample answer: As soon as you simplify the right side of the equation to 6x + 12, you see that both sides of the equation are the same. This means that the statement is always true, and there are infinitely many solutions. 3. Construct Arguments The height of an ‘experimental plant after x days can be represented by the formula 3(4x + 2). The height of a second plant can be represented by the formula 6(2x + 2). Isit possible that the two plants will ever be the same height? Explain. No; Sample answer: The equation can be simplified as 12x + 6 = 12x + 12. ince 6 # 12, the equation is a false statement, so there is no solution to this equation. 2-4 Equations with No Solutions or Infinitely Many Solutions ‘Acne-variable equation has one solution when solving results in ‘one value for the variable, such Aone-variable equation has no solution when solving results in ‘an untrue statement, such as 2= 3.

How many solutions does the equation ‘7x + 3x = 8 = 2(5x - 4) have? Explain. Infinitely many; Sample answer: Since -8 —8 is always true, there ely many solutions. 6. Todd and Agnes are making desserts. Todd buys peaches and a carton of vanilla yogurt. Agnes. buys apples and a jar of honey. They bought the same number of pieces of fruit. Is there a situation in which they pay the same amount for their purchases? Explain. 34 $6 id When they both purchase 8 pieces of fruit; Sample answer: Todd pays 1.25x +4, Agnes pays x + 6. 1.25x +4 = x + Gis the equation that represents the same amount for their purchases. Subtract x from both sides, 0.25x + 4 = 6. Subtract 4 from both sides, 0.25x = 2. Divide both sides by 0.25, x = 8. Since x represents a number value, 8, the equation has one solution.
