Q. Find the missing number so that the equation has infinitely many solutions. −3x+=−3x+5
Identify Solutions: Identify when the equation has infinitely many solutions.For an equation to have infinitely many solutions, both sides must be identical in form and constants.
Analyze Equation: Analyze the given equation: −3x+____=−3x+5.To have infinitely many solutions, the blank must make the left side identical to the right side.
Set Coefficients Equal: Set the coefficients of x equal on both sides.Since the coefficients of x are already equal (−3 on both sides), focus on the constants.
Set Constants Equal: Set the constants equal: ____ = 5.The missing number that makes the constants equal is 5.
