neither
Inductive reasoning

Its deductive

Step-by-step explanation:

you already have evidence and an idea

This is deductive reasoning.

Step-by-step explanation:

You start with the broadest given info that Mary is older than Bill, so any age younger than Bill will be younger than Bill and Mary. So you can draw a conclusion that since Frank is younger than Bill then Mary is older than him as well. Have a Great Day!

infinitely many solutions

step-by-step explanation:

we have been given the equation;

2(2x + 3) = -4 + 2(2x + 5)

we need to determine the value of x.

2(2x + 3), we expand this expression to obtain 4x + 6

similarly 2(2x + 5) will become 4x + 10

now we have;

4x + 6 = -4 + 4x + 10

4x + 6 = 4x + 10 - 4

4x + 6 = 4x + 6

the expression on the left hand side is identical to the one on the right hand side. therefore, we are looking at just a single straight line whose equation is;

y = 4x + 6

consequently, we shall have infinitely many solutions
