Which of the following equations has exactly one solutions?

A. 5x+4=5×+4
B. -5×+4=5x+4
C. -5×+3=-5×+3
D. 5x+4=5×+3
C. 10x+3=-10×+3
D. 10x+4=10×-4

1 answer

To determine which of the equations has exactly one solution, we can analyze each option:

A. \( 5x + 4 = 5x + 4 \)

This equation simplifies to \( 0 = 0 \) for all values of \( x \), so it has infinitely many solutions.

B. \( -5x + 4 = 5x + 4 \)

Rearranging gives: \[ -5x - 5x = 4 - 4 \ -10x = 0 \ x = 0 \] This equation has exactly one solution: \( x = 0 \).

C. \( -5x + 3 = -5x + 3 \)

This equation also simplifies to \( 0 = 0 \), so it has infinitely many solutions.

D. \( 5x + 4 = 5x + 3 \)

Rearranging gives: \[ 5x - 5x = 3 - 4 \ 0 = -1 \] This statement is false, meaning there are no solutions.

E. \( 10x + 3 = -10x + 3 \)

Rearranging gives: \[ 10x + 10x = 3 - 3 \ 20x = 0 \ x = 0 \] This equation has exactly one solution: \( x = 0 \).

F. \( 10x + 4 = 10x - 4 \)

Rearranging gives: \[ 10x - 10x = -4 - 4 \ 0 = -8 \] This statement is false, meaning there are no solutions.

In summary, the equations with exactly one solution are:

  • B: \( -5x + 4 = 5x + 4 \) (solution: \( x = 0 \))
  • E: \( 10x + 3 = -10x + 3 \) (solution: \( x = 0 \))

So the answer is: B and E (10x + 3 = -10x + 3).
