Complete the equation so it has infinite solutions.

4x + 10 = _x + _

1 answer

To create an equation with infinite solutions, both sides must be equivalent expressions.

You want to manipulate the equation \(4x + 10 = _x + _\) to make it true for all values of \(x\).

Here's one way to do it:

Set the blank on the left side to match the right side. We can rewrite the right side as the same expression as the left.

Let the blanks be:

  • For the first blank (coefficient of \(x\)), use \(4\)
  • For the second blank (constant term), use \(10\)

So the completed equation is: \[ 4x + 10 = 4x + 10 \]

This equation will have infinite solutions because both sides are identical for any value of \(x\).
