what are the answers to the following problems:

Problem 1: 3(2i+7)=6i+21
Problem 2: 3i+5=2i−7
Problem 3: 3i+2i−7=18
Problem 4: 3(2i−7)=15
Problem 5: 3i+5=3i+7

1 answer

Let's solve each problem step by step.

Problem 1:
3(2i+7)=6i+21

Distributing on the left side: 6i+21=6i+21

Both sides are equal, so the equation holds for all values of i. The answer is true for all i.


Problem 2:
3i+5=2i7

Subtracting 2i from both sides: 3i2i+5=7 This simplifies to: i+5=7

Subtracting 5 from both sides: i=12

So, the solution is i=12.


Problem 3:
3i+2i7=18

Combining like terms: 5i7=18

Adding 7 to both sides: 5i=25

Dividing both sides by 5: i=5

So, the solution is i=5.


Problem 4:
3(2i7)=15

Distributing on the left side: 6i21=15

Adding 21 to both sides: 6i=36

Dividing both sides by 6: i=6

So, the solution is i=6.


Problem 5:
3i+5=3i+7

Subtracting 3i from both sides: 5=7

This is not true, so the equation has no solution.


To summarize:

  • Problem 1: True for all i
  • Problem 2: i=12
  • Problem 3: i=5
  • Problem 4: i=6
  • Problem 5: No solution.
