Which of the following equations have exactly
one solution?
choose all answers that apply:
-5x + 12 = –12x – 12

-5x + 12 = 5x + 12

-5x + 12 = 5x – 5

-5x + 12 = -5x – 12

-5x + 12 = –12x – 12

-5x + 12 = 5x + 12

-5x + 12 = 5x – 5

Step-by-step explanation:

First degree equations

A first degree equation has the form

ax + b = 0

There are some special cases where the equation can have one, infinitely many or no solution

If , the equation has exactly one solution

If a=0 and b=0 the equation has infinitely many solutions, because it doesn't matter the value of x, it will always be true that 0=0

If a=0 and the equation has no solution, because it will be equivalent to b=0 and we are saying it's not true. No matter what x is, it's a false statement.

We have been given some equations, we only need to put them in standard form

-5x + 12 = –12x – 12

Rearranging

7x + 24 = 0

It has exactly one solution because a is not zero

.......................

-5x + 12 = 5x + 12

Rearranging

-10x + 0 = 0

It has exactly one solution because a is not zero

.......................

-5x + 12 = 5x – 5

Rearranging

-10x + 17 = 0

It has exactly one solution because a is not zero

.......................

-5x + 12 = -5x – 12

Rearranging

0x + 24 = 0

It has no solution, no matter what the value of x is, it's impossible that 24=0

These are the equations with exactly one solution

-5x + 12 = –12x – 12

-5x + 12 = 5x + 12

-5x + 12 = 5x – 5
