1 answer

Let's solve each of the equations one by one and match them with their corresponding solutions.

  1. Equation: \(2i + 3 = 2i - 5\)

    To solve for \(i\), we can subtract \(2i\) from both sides: \[ 3 = -5 \] This equation is not true, which means there is no solution.

  2. Equation: \(3(2i - 7) = 6i - 21\)

    First, expand the left side: \[ 6i - 21 = 6i - 21 \] The equation simplifies to: \[ 6i - 21 = 6i - 21 \] Since both sides are equal, this is true for all values of \(i\), so it has infinite solutions.

  3. Equation: \(3i + 2i - 4 = 18i\)

    Combine like terms on the left: \[ 5i - 4 = 18i \] Now, isolate \(i\) by subtracting \(5i\) from both sides: \[ -4 = 18i - 5i \] Simplifying: \[ -4 = 13i \] Divide both sides by 13: \[ i = -\frac{4}{13} \]

Now we have the solutions matched up:

  • \(2i + 3 = 2i - 5\) → no solution
  • \(3(2i - 7) = 6i - 21\) → infinite solutions
  • \(3i + 2i - 4 = 18i\) → \(i = -\frac{4}{13}\)

To summarize:

  1. \(2i + 3 = 2i - 5\) → no solution
  2. \(3(2i - 7) = 6i - 21\) → infinite solutions
  3. \(3i + 2i - 4 = 18i\) → \(i = -\frac{4}{13}\)
