Q. How many solutions does the following equation have?13(y+3)=13y+39Choose 1 answer:(A) No solutions(B) Exactly one solution(C) Infinitely many solutions
Distribute 13 to both terms: Distribute 13 to both terms inside the parentheses on the left side of the equation.13(y+3)=13y+3913y+13⋅3=13y+3913y+39=13y+39
Observe identical sides: Observe that both sides of the equation are identical.13y+39=13y+39This equation is true for all values of y.
Infinite solutions: Since the equation is true for all values of y, the equation has infinitely many solutions.
