Which of the following equations has exactly one solution?(1 point)

Responses

-6x + 4 = -6x + 3
-6x + 4 = -6x + 3

-6x + 4 = 6x + 3
-6x + 4 = 6x + 3

6x + 4 = 4x + 4
6x + 4 = 4x + 4

6x + 3 = -6x + 3

To determine which of the equations has exactly one solution, we can analyze each equation separately.

  1. Equation 1: \[ -6x + 4 = -6x + 3 \] Subtract \(-6x\) from both sides: \[ 4 = 3 \] This is a contradiction and has no solutions.

  2. Equation 2: \[ -6x + 4 = 6x + 3 \] Adding \(6x\) to both sides gives: \[ 4 = 12x + 3 \] Subtracting 3 from both sides: \[ 1 = 12x \] Dividing both sides by 12: \[ x = \frac{1}{12} \] This has exactly one solution.

  3. Equation 3: \[ 6x + 4 = 4x + 4 \] Subtracting \(4\) from both sides: \[ 6x = 4x \] Subtracting \(4x\) from both sides: \[ 2x = 0 \] Dividing both sides by 2: \[ x = 0 \] This has exactly one solution.

  4. Equation 4: \[ 6x + 3 = -6x + 3 \] Adding \(6x\) to both sides: \[ 12x + 3 = 3 \] Subtracting 3 from both sides: \[ 12x = 0 \] Dividing both sides by 12: \[ x = 0 \] This also has exactly one solution.

After analyzing all equations:

  • The second equation has exactly one solution: \(\frac{1}{12}\).
  • The third and fourth equations also have exactly one solution (0).

Since only the second equation has been identified specifically for exactly one solution with a specific value, the answer to the question is:

-6x + 4 = 6x + 3.
