Read each problem carefully and solve as required then answer the questions that follow

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiply the equation by 4

5x - 2 + 2 = 2*(3y + 2)

5x +0 = 2*3y + 2*2

5x = 6y + 4

5x - 6y = 4 --------------------(I)

Multiply the equation by 6

2*(7y + 3) = 3x + 2*7

14y + 6 = 3x + 14

14y = 3x + 14 - 6

14y = 3x + 8

-3x + 14y = 8 ------------------------(II)

Multiply equation (I) by 3 and equation (II) by 5 and then add

(I)*3              15x - 18y = 12

(II)*5           -15x  + 70y = 40     {Now add}

                          52y = 52

                              y = 52/52

                            y = 1

Substitute y =1 in equation (I)

5x - 6*1 =  4

5x - 6 = 4

      5x = 4 +6

      5x = 10

         x = 10/5

x = 2

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
