Q. Find the missing number so that the equation has infinitely many solutions.−5x+____=−5x+2
Identical Solutions Condition: When does this equation have infinitely many solutions? Infinitely many solutions occur when the both sides of the equation are identical.
Equation Setup:−5x+____=−5x+2To have infinitely many solutions, the coefficients of x are already the same, so the constants must also be the same.
Determining Missing Number: The missing number must be the same as the constant on the right side of the equation, which is 2. Missing number: 2
