1 answer

To determine which equations have no solutions, let's analyze each equation step by step.

  1. Equation: \(7x + 3 - 4x = 3(x + 1)\)

    • Simplify left side: \(3x + 3 = 3(x + 1)\)
    • Expanding right side: \(3x + 3 = 3x + 3\)
    • This is true for all values of \(x\). Thus, it has infinitely many solutions.
  2. Equation: \(2(x + 2) = 2x + 2\)

    • Expanding left side: \(2x + 4 = 2x + 2\)
    • Subtracting \(2x\) from both sides: \(4 = 2\)
    • This is a false statement, meaning this equation has no solutions.
  3. Equation: \(5x + 5 = 5(2x + 2)\)

    • Expanding right side: \(5x + 5 = 10x + 10\)
    • Rearranging: \(5 = 5x + 10\) → \(5 - 10 = 5x\) → \(-5 = 5x\) → \(x = -1\)
    • This equation has a solution.
  4. Equation: \(6(x + 8) = 6x + 5\)

    • Expanding left side: \(6x + 48 = 6x + 5\)
    • Subtracting \(6x\) from both sides: \(48 = 5\)
    • This is a false statement, meaning this equation has no solutions.

Summary

The equations with no solutions are:

  • \(2(x + 2) = 2x + 2\)
  • \(6(x + 8) = 6x + 5\)

Thus, the final answers are:

  • \(2(x + 2) = 2x + 2\)
  • \(6(x + 8) = 6x + 5\)
