Finish the equation so that it has an infinite amount of solutions. 9(2x+7)-5= ?

3 answers

In order to have an infinite amount of solutions, we must obtain an equation that simplifies to a statement that is always true.

Starting with the equation 9(2x+7) - 5 = ?, we can simplify it by distributing the 9:

18x + 63 - 5 = ?

Combining like terms, we have:

18x + 58 = ?

To have an infinite amount of solutions, we can subtract 18x from both sides of the equation:

18x - 18x + 58 = -18x + ?

This simplifies to:

58 = -18x + ?

Since the right side of the equation is not dependent on x, any value of x will satisfy the equation. Therefore, 9(2x+7) - 5 has an infinite amount of solutions.
Finish the equation please
My apologies for the confusion. To create an equation with an infinite amount of solutions, we need to eliminate variables and ending up with a statement that is always true. We can manipulate the equation provided as follows:

9(2x + 7) - 5 = 9(2x) + 9(7) - 5 = 18x + 63 - 5 = 18x + 58

To have an infinite amount of solutions, we can subtract 18x from both sides of the equation:

18x - 18x + 58 = -18x + 58 = 0

By replacing the question mark "?" with "0," we obtain the equation 9(2x + 7) - 5 = 0, which has an infinite amount of solutions.
