Let's solve each equation step by step:
-
Equation: \( 2i + 3 = 2i - 5 \)
Subtract \( 2i \) from both sides: \[ 3 = -5 \] This is a contradiction, which means there is no solution.
-
Equation: \( 3i + 2i - 4 = 18i \)
Combine like terms: \[ 5i - 4 = 18i \] Subtract \( 5i \) from both sides: \[ -4 = 13i \] Now, divide by \( 13 \): \[ i = -\frac{4}{13} \]
-
Equation: \( 3(2i - 7) = 6i - 21 \)
Distribute the 3: \[ 6i - 21 = 6i - 21 \] This simplifies to \( 0 = 0 \), which means there are infinite solutions.
Now let's match the equations with their solutions:
- First equation: \( 2i + 3 = 2i - 5 \) → no solution
- Second equation: \( 3i + 2i - 4 = 18i \) → \( i = -\frac{4}{13} \)
- Third equation: \( 3(2i - 7) = 6i - 21 \) → infinite solutions
Now, we can summarize the matches based on provided responses:
- Equation 1: no solution
- Equation 2: \( i = -\frac{4}{13} \)
- Equation 3: infinite solutions
