Q. How many solutions does the following equation have?3(y+41)=3y+123Choose 1 answer:(A) No solutions(B) Exactly one solution(C) Infinitely many solutions
Distribute the 3: Distribute the 3 on the left side of the equation to both terms inside the parentheses.3(y+41)=3y+1233⋅y+3⋅41=3y+1233y+123=3y+123
Observe both sides: Observe both sides of the equation to determine if they are identical.Since 3y+123 is equal to 3y+123, the equation is true for all values of y.
Conclude the number of solutions: Conclude the number of solutions based on the observation in Step 2.Because the equation is true for all values of y, the equation has infinitely many solutions.
