Let's solve each of the equations one by one and match them with their corresponding solutions.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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:
- \(2i + 3 = 2i - 5\) → no solution
- \(3(2i - 7) = 6i - 21\) → infinite solutions
- \(3i + 2i - 4 = 18i\) → \(i = -\frac{4}{13}\)
