3(-n + 4) + 5n = 2n A) n = 3 B) no solution C) infinitely many solutions

B

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

3(- n + 4) + 5n = 2n ← distribute and simplify left side

- 3n + 12 + 5n = 2n

2n + 12 = 2n ( subtract 12 from both sides )

2n = 2n - 12 ( subtract 2n from both sides )

0 = - 12 ← not possible

This indicates the equation has no solution

Comparing the types of solutions

A n = 3

Indicates that there is only one unique solution to the equation.

B no solutions

This is indicated when you solve and obtain a ridiculous statement, similar to the one obtained in part A, that is

0 = 12

C infinite solutions

This is indicated when you solve the equation and obtain

4 = 4 or - 3 = - 3

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
